I've just learnt that "try harder", which is common in video games, has become a French word.
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you "traillarder"(verb) and "traillardeur" (noun).
L'académie Française will definetely sulk, but I love it.

Being a linguist is inherently political. We know that all language is equal and that being treated differently because of your languaging has to do with the body you inhabit and not the language itself.

Is it "care-a-mel" or "car-muhl"? It's both, and so many more.
It varies by region, with the OED listing six acceptable pronunciations (no matter how the French pronounce it)
