TIL the French word “mildiou”, that sounds to us French people exactly like an old word of the South akin to “farigoule” or “mogette”, is in fact the totally English word mildew written as pronounced in French. And now that I see it written “mill-dew” it makes much more sense.
Dammit
PS: “Mildiou le petit chat roux” is perfectly adorable.
Mildew is fun AF
