>English doesn't do that—instead, it goes with the foreign spelling first It only does that with accented letters that are otherwise shared in a common alphabet and then only sometimes. In your desire for a rule that you like, you are insisting that English is following another rule that you do not like, when in reality it is actually much less simple. English has conventions within contexts, but is more or less allergic to to hard and fast rules. My favourite quote on this is by the writer James Nicoll. >“English doesn’t borrow from other languages. English follows other languages down dark alleys, knocks them over and goes through their pockets for loose grammar.”
