   • 2016 October 13, Matthew Anderson, “The foreign words that seem like English – but aren’t”, in BBC‎^[1], archived from the original on 14 November 2020:

     In France the Académie Française is an important body in public life. It is the final arbiter of the language and a watchdog against its abuse. It issues warnings and edicts against anglicisms for which perfectly good French words exist, and lately its website has cautioned against fan zone and listing – though it accepts building for skyscraper and Browning for handgun as legitimate French words of English origin.
