  • Just a small precision, courriel is from Quebec, and everyone* uses it cause it’s a great translation. It rolls off the tongue and was an excellent neologism from the Office Quebecoise du Francais. The académie wanted to use “mail” which is dumb and confusing and bring nothing to the language that just using “email” doesn’t already do. It is often a case study of how Quebec does some neologism better.

    *Maybe a bit less in very colloquial speak, but still at least as common as using the anglicism.
