( Your own de-facto practice is to use neologisms as they occur, in the ) original American. Looking at my list of words, collected from ( WELSH-L over the last three months, I find 4 occurrences of usenet, 5 ) of WWW and 9 of e-mail. My other collections of words in many ( languages, *all* contain many occurrences of e-mail, usenet, and WWW. Since by your own admission:- ( I am only here collecting Welsh words, for a project and have no Welsh ) myself, but found this in WELSH-L, which prompts me to add my 2 cents you are ignorant of that on which you purport to comment, you are unlikely to be able to tell whether a use of a familiar, apparently English word or usage in a Welsh sentence has actual reference, or is merely a referent itself. Since much of the discussion here is about words and language it is going to be quite unrepresentative. I respectfully suggest that several of those uses of (the word) 'email' are in sentences of the form "what I say for 'email' is ...". You ought to draw no conclusions about usage from those, except perhaps that most people are careless about quotation marks. Again for your benefit, perhaps I ought to explain that the discussion here has not, on the whole, been about what one might call "avoiding English words", so much as agreeing on comfortable usages. I do indeed use "WWW" indiscriminately in English and Welsh sentences, but like others I neither use that as 'an English word' in English sentences (but rather say things like 'the Web') nor as 'a Welsh word' in Welsh sentences (similarly). I will not go on at length about it but: ( Maintaining the Language and Culture of Wales, England or even ) Yorkshire, is a good idea (I do English Folk Dancing and can still ( talk broad Yorkshire). ... not everyone thinks that 'maintaining' is a worthy aim; languages and cultures are used and developed, or they are nothing. g Mi gymrodd ugain mlynedd o addysg y Sais i ddysgu i mi ddefnyddio geiriau llond-y-ceg fel 'purport' a 'referent' yn yr un frawddeg.
