A lot of people go about their daily lives and searching for things like a ”jewelry armoir” day in and day out, but they don’t realize one thing and neither do the search engines that tell you what you think you should be looking for, or maybe not when Google tells you that you may be looking for a jewelry armoire. So, what am I talking about here? What difference does it make when I make it a big deal out of people searching for a jewelry armoir with or without an “e”.
Well, just like the UN is deciding to take all the culture out of the Traditional Chinese language and force the world to use simplified Chinese, a simple removal of the “e” compares to drop off the culture behind the root language of the word.
Because, according to Britannica, “André-Charles Boulle, the cabinetmaker to Louis XIV in the late 17th century, are among the most sumptuous and imposing pieces of Western furniture” in designing the jewelry armoire. Armoire sounds French, and it is. I hope we can all make an effort to not cannibalize the English language, because like the U.S.A., English is a diverse mix of all it’s cultures. And people recognize that but don’t think about it when they are searching for items like jewelry armoir, but instead, next time you think about it harder, you may even find what you are looking for. Have a nice day.
