There's no tizzy (not even a half tizzy) and the situation with a few of us on here adopting a lovely word is hardly comparable to governing bodies decreeing what words can and cannot be used. And I can almost certainly say that the majority off the French 'do not' get their panties into a wad. The French 'Academy' do, although it's a pointless kind of anger that can never truly come to much.

Can't we Liseusers just have our word without everybody party-pooping all over it all the time?
