hello everyone

hi, nan
12:08 am
cybernan
2 words, gillie
12:09 am
Gillie
It's commonly used as one word to describe bathrooms, for instance (Although it is 2 words in French, of course)
12:10 am
Gillie
But maybe that's recent usage
12:11 am
Gillie
or just a really common mis-spelling
12:11 am
Rainiqui
In French, ensuite (one word) means then or later.
12:14 am
Gillie
Yes, but "en suite" means "in the suite", and it is commonly used as one word in English
12:15 am
Rainiqui
I've never seen it as 2 words in English either.
12:15 am
cybernan
I have never seen it as one word
12:17 am
Gillie
Lots turns up in English if you google either one (including the question "Is ensuite one word or two?")

not doubting you Gille, Was just saying that I had only seen it as two words
12:20 am
justafreep
sorry
12:22 am
Rainiqui
Sometimes I give up on the grid because I find too many French words that of course are not accepted.
12:22 am
cybernan
annoying isn't it? especially when so many other languages are accepted
12:23 am
Gillie
I was also hoping "clutzy" would be accepted, although I admit I've never seen that spelling
12:23 am
Rainiqui
major annoying
12:25 am

Rain - I recently used that word to my g/kids and they had no idea what I was talking about ?!
12:26 am
Gillie
I was in Germany with a choir when someone in the group commented that "kaput" seems to be a word that's understood everywhere. Then somebody else said, what language is it, anyway?
12:27 am
Rainiqui
Snog - I didn't know either till a few years ago, lol.
