“Fiance” not “Fiancé” in ENGLISH!

Also accent marks are just diacritics in English, they’re not part of the alphabet. In some languages, like Spanish, the diacritical mark over a letter is considered an autonomous letter.

The acute diacritic, though, has a long history within English literature.

Just for the record, there is *still* no “é” nor *any* accented letters in *English* alphabet, so with all due respect (i.e. not much anymore), Merriam Webster and any other *English* dictionaries that list words with accented letters (and all the *English* spell checkers that flag “fiance” or any other word simply cuz of lack of accent mark) are WRONG!

And speaking of, in *English*, “fiance” should be pronounced FEE-ANS *not* FEE-ANH-SAY!? If ppl want *English* speakers to pronounce it FEE-ANH-SAY when speaking *English*, then spell it, again, in *English*, as, well, “feeanhsay”!? 🤔🙄🤦🏻‍♂️

The Oxford English Dictionary lists the words as Fiancé and Fiancée. It is the principal historical dictionary of the English language. It traces the historical development language, providing a comprehensive resource to scholars and academic researchers, as well as describing usage in its many variations throughout the world.

A loanword is distinguished from a calque, they are not translated.
