Our own Dante Alighieri Society hasn't reported on it, but Italy's Societa Dante Alighieri has declared several English words ugly. Among the Italians' least favorite words are weekend, welfare, OK, briefing, mission, know how, shampoo, and cool. Many of these words have been adopted by Italians, and the Society sees English as corrupting the beauty of the Italian language. Just wait until they hear these words spoken in a Boston accent.
