13451719, it doesn't allow French, however Posted by Damali, Thu Jan-13-22 03:56 PM
it allows commonly used English words that happen to have been stolen from French
there are ALOT of english words/phrases that are really just french words
lieu = place ..like when we say "in lieu of" souvenir = to remember memoir = memory cache = hidden rendevouz = appointment R.S.V.P. = respondez s'il vous plait or "respond please" in English
there are a ton more...close to 30% of "english" words are french words
English is barely a real language cuz so many words are taken from others
