FOREIGN WORDS COMMONLY USED IN ENGLISH [It is to be noted that of these words a small proportion have already become established as good English, many are undergoing the process of being anglicized, and a few are still actual foreign words.] NOTE: Careful distinction should be made between masculine and feminine forms in those words which have retained their foreign gender-inflections. The French adjective ending in é is masculine, and that ending in ée is feminine: déshabillé, déshabillée; né, née; decolletée. French nouns derived from adjectives ending in é or ée usually preserve a gender distinction: fiancé, fiancée; protégé, protégée; divorcé, divorcée. The word employee has become established in the feminine form, but is applied to workers of both sexes; some careful people, however, distinguish between employé and employée. A few words have come over to us as feminines and retain the ée: matinée; negligée; entrée. Some French nouns ending in eur retain the foreign distinctions for gender: masseur, masseuse; poseur, poseuse; raconteur, raconteuse. Masculine: Singular, alumnus; plural, alumni. The use of foreign words and phrases is not in good taste; it is likely to be regarded as an affectation. There are a few situa tions which permit the use of foreign words because there are no established English words which will serve the purpose; in such cases, no one will take exception to the introduction of words from another language.
