Rapier is not (only) a French word. Sure it has French origins, but I'm sure you will find it in any English language dictionary too, English is made up of loan words.
(On a side note, Firefox's spellchecker marks uncapitalized "english" as incorrect, but not uncapitalized "french". Weird.)
- gjm11 6y agoUncapitalized "french" is common in "french fries" and is also a verb meaning to remove meat from the end of a bone. I think English is almost always capitalized even when it means spin on a billiard ball. (I'm not sure about capitalization of "french" in the context of kissing, but I _think_ it's usually capitalized there.)
