Hi 👋
In the DET Real English Word section, if we encounter words such as bouquets, rendezvous, fiancé, fiancée, or whatever are taken from other languages, what should do? Additionally, some lexis aren't available or not written in the best-known dictionaries, such as hypermodern, cyberchondriac...
Should we admit them as real English words?
Hi! Firstly, those words from other languages like bouquet are still words in English as well - so they would be real. I am not 100% sure about the second question because only the true DET insiders know that for sure, but I would strongly suspect that they would only include words which are established dictionary words. So it shouldn't be a problem.
