@languagelovers ,
To all #French native speakers, I'm curious to know if #English or #anglicisms have made their way into the mainstream language.

I remember many years ago while #Spanish was adopting words like "byte" & "software", French protected its own and used "octete" & "logiciel" instead.

I wonder if that's still the case.
