Authors -- think about the language you're using, if you're not writing in our world!
You can't avoid *everything*, by any means, but when you're editing your novel before submitting it to us (😜), and picking out each particular perfect phrasing, keep this in mind! An English word that comes from French isn't a big deal (otherwise, we'd lose half the language!), but if it's named after a *region* of France... That might be a good time to try on "bubbly" or "sparkling". ;)
Food (and drink) for thought!
