    I know all about etymology and language evolution.

    I still think it’s stupid to write “EAU” to say “O”.

      all french loanwords should be englishized, this weird reluctancy of english to transliterate or adapt the foreign word to it only causes more confusion

        We should write fully phonologically in IPA. You have an accent? Write it down. I want to imagine the voice of the writer better when reading a paper.
