You’re welcome! Someone replied on the soup de jour post that they “didn’t speak French” and I thought they were trolling at first. I assumed it was a well known loan word for all native English speakers, like RVSP, déjà-vu, cul-de-sac, chaise lounge etc etc. That’s what I get for making assumptions!
I think there’s a chance you might indeed be overestimating the average English speaker’s proficiency in loan words! Good thing dictionaries are not hard to find these days. :)

Haha, I saw that post and laughed. I didn’t go into the comments though.
