I'm not arguing that it isn't spelled wrong or incorrectly, just that it isn't of French origin. It wouldn't be the first time an English speaker misspelled a foreign origin word. Naive comes to mind as a classic example. Maybe nee as well.
- roel_v 15y agoI don't think the GP claimed it is a French word. Actually he explicitly said that it's not, and I don't see him claiming anything on its origins.
- mitchty 15y agoMy point was mainly just in regards to a word spelled with a say grave or acute accent doesn't necessarily originate from French. And the origin was to demonstrate that this word is both misspelled, and has no direct relation to French at all since it originates from Italian.
