Speaking in Tongues

I have nothing against people slipping foreign words into their writing or conversation, just as I know Prunella doesn’t. In fact, we are known to do it ourselves once in awhile. What I do find annoying – and admittedly this is snobbish of me – is when they mispronounce and/or misuse the word. I think if you aren’t sure how a word should be pronounced or employed, you probably should avoid it and go with a word you are more familiar with. N’est-ce pas?
