I only heard about it because of an article about them trying to find a French word for “e-mail”

Did that become of thing? Did it catch on?

I’m curious because in English once something has a “name” it never changes. Hell Donald trump tried to rename the Gulf of Mexico. I’m in Texas, no one is changing the name. It’s the Gulf of Mexico.

Once something is established it doesn’t change.

Did they change email into something more French? Does that work like that?
