Inspired by David, I'd like to know about a word you'd like to upgrade with a better loanword from another language because you like it better.
I vote for Japanese "gomi" to replace English "garbage", because gomi is such a bouncy, joyful word.
What about you?
Butterfly is much less fun to say than papillon so I am using the standard process in the English language: deprecating a common-usage word and replacing it with a foreign word that I like better. From now on, all uses of the word ‘butterfly’ shall be deemed archaic.
Thank you for your patience during the transition.
@ShaulaEvans With regards to butterfly, I would happily replace it with Mariposa.
But my favorite is to replace "retired" with "jubilado". Because what better description than jubilation?
