Hi Artem,

My name is Alison -- I work at Aardvark, helping the company stay in touch with our users.

Quick compliment: Looks like you've gotten up to speed quickly asking and answering questions!

Send any comments or suggestions to feedback@vark.com -- I'd love to hear your thoughts on how we can improve Aardvark!

Artem,

A couple months ago, you asked us to allow more than 5 questions per day on Aardvark. I wanted to let you know that you should now be able to ask up to 15. if you ever find this number restricting be sure to let me know!

Best,
Alison

The usual protest must be made, to be treated no doubt with the usual disregard. The difficulty is that some French, Latin, and other words are now also English, though the fiction that they are not is still kept up by italics and (with French words) conscientious efforts at pronunciation. Such are tête-à-tête, ennui, status quo, raison d'être, eirenicon, négligé, and perhaps hundreds more. The novice who is told to avoid foreign words, and then observes that these English words are used freely, takes the rule for a counsel of perfection—not accepted by good writers, and certainly not to be accepted by him, who is sometimes hard put to it for the ornament that he feels his matter deserves. Even with the best will in the world, he finds that there are many words of which he cannot say whether they are yet English or not, as gaucherie, bêtise, camaraderie, soupçon, so that there is no drawing the line. He can only be told that all words not English in appearance are in English writing ugly and not pretty, and that they are justified only (1) if they afford much the shortest or clearest, if not the only way to the meaning (this is usually true of the words we have called really English), or (2) if they have some special appropriateness of association or allusion in the sentence they stand in.
