«Courriel» is an Académie Française coinage, IIRC

Could very well be, but it's not used in informal language, everyone says email. Maybe in government letters or so. The Canadians do though, as well as arrêt instead of stop signs, fin de semaine instead of weekend, etc.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
