French language Q&A Forum

I think since 1990 and the contentious spelling reforms, there are now two acceptable ways to spell “onion” in French. I think the Academy even prefers “ognon” to be used over “oignon”. In the same way that you now allow “s’il vous plait” without the circumflex as well as “s’il vous plaît”, maybe you should add the new spelling of onion as an acceptable option? 

And of course the poor old “domestique”. Don’t forget them! They make up an important part of the “coureur cyclistes” in the Tour and do lots of the tough work for their more glamorous team-mates but don’t get any of the glory. Thanks for the list.
