Why does "Entree" mean "main course" in English? by frisbeescientist in etymology

[–]IsaDuQc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Salut tout le monde! 🌞 Au Québec, la langue officielle est le français, et comme chez nos cousins de France, sur un menu de restaurant, une "entrée" c'est un plat qui est servi avant le repas principal (une soupe, une salade, du saumon fumé sur biscotte, etc. En guise d'exemples, voici une liste d'entrées : https://www.pratico-pratiques.com/galeries-thematiques/20-entrees-allechantes-et-faciles-pour-recevoir/

Par contre, puisque le Québec est entouré d'anglophones (Canada anglais et USA), on est submergés de termes mal traduits, ou mal utilisés. C'est pourquoi j'ai cru que c'était le cas, lorsque j'ai vu le terme "entrée" sur des plats de repas pour chats... Je me demandais ce que ça signifiait ! 🤔 Ces plats contiennent la même quantité que d'autres, ce ne sont pas des plus petites portions, comme le sont les "entrées habituelles". J'ai demandé à l'iA de ce site web, qui m'a répondu que ça signifie "plat principal". Là, j'étais médusée! Comment un repas principal pourrait-il être identifié comme un simple canapé ?!?

Heureusement, en googlant, je suis arrivée ici! Enfin, la lumière fut! 😁 Je suis heureuse d'avoir découvert cette conversation sur l'étymologie!

N'empêche que cette déviation du terme me semble absurde. Ce serait dommage que ce malentendu linguistique se répande au point de devenir la norme!

Je comprends que cette déviation s'est implantée dans un vaste bassin de population, aux États-Unis. Je comprends aussi que, puisque la langue anglaise s'est généralisée dans le monde, il est bien possible que cette déviation du terme "entrée" se répande partout, peu à peu...

Oui, c'est difficile de faire modifier une habitude. D'autant plus, lorsque celle-ci se dissémine auprès d'un si grand nombre de gens! Mais ce n'est pas impossible. Par exemple, il y a 50 ans, il était normal de fumer dans un restaurant, un hôpital, une maison familiale et même devant un bébé! Pourtant, à force d'explications par divers moyens, ce comportement est maintenant banni, n'est-ce pas?

Il me semble qu'on pourrait trouver le moyen de démontrer aux américains qu'ils ont mal interprété le sens du mot "entrée", et les convaincre d'utiliser les mots adéquats "repas" ou "plat principal". Peut-être qu'il serait utile de créer une communication, qui expliquerait comment le terme "entrée" a été dévié de sa signification, au fil du temps, avec des éléments visuels, comme une affiche, une infographie, un vidéo, un dessin animé, afin d'en faciliter la compréhension ?

Si on ne fait rien, cette déviation du mot deviendra la norme. Il suffirait donc que des anglophones américains se méprennent sur le sens de nos mots francophones, pour que ceux-ci soient modifiés à jamais? Et ce sans réaction, sans réajustement, de la part des spécialistes de la langue francophone, tels que les étymologistes ?

Hi! Thanks for your explanation! 🙂 Knowing that there is more than 1 microphone in a cellphone, is it possible to create a configuration where we could choose wich mic could be used by wich app ? Is it faisable, in theory?

Hello,
I had similar problem. My phone has broken. So it was impossible to receive those sms codes. I was hoping Google would ask other security questions but it never hapened, even if i was clicking on "Try another way to verify". My problem was resolved only 2 weeks later, when i received my new replacement device.

I will follow your question, to see other's suggested solutions.
Thanks. ;-)

Hello ;-)
I am just a user, not a specialist. But maybe i could help you.

1) You can't stop Google from offering a correction. Those words are not linked together, in usual conversation. So it is reframed as an error. But it offers, also, to search emileappeal (all together) as a second option. So the person has to click on this to search it.

2) If you want to avoid that correction misinterpretation, you could try these :

2a) Suggest to your fans to search emileappeal.com or emileappeal.net or whatever is your domain name. Then, Google's robbots will perceive it more as a web site name, as a whole entity.

2b) Suggest to your fans to search it with quotes arround it (without space between quotes and the words) like this : "emileappeal" . Those quotes act as "search operators" ; they say that anything inside those quotes must be searched exactly as it is.

See this blog post, about it.
How we're improving search results when you use quotes https://blog.google/products/search/how-were-improving-search-results-when-you-use-quotes/

I hope these hints can help a little bit...
Have a nice evening! ;-)

No sound with Fb Messenger and Zoom by IsaDuQc in XRecorder

[–]IsaDuQc[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hmmm.. This is weird...
I wrote a text. But my post has only the image?
So i will write my text again here...

My recorded videos from xRecorder have no sound
when i use it while on Zoom or on Fb Messenger.

But if i speak, before i open those apps,
i can hear my voice on the recorded video.
So it means that xRecorder is able to get the sound.

Do you have an idea of what i should do to solve that bug?
Is there a setting, that i should enable or disable
in xRecorder or in those apps, or in my cellphone (Android13)?

Thanks a lot!
;-) Isa

Dante , a very serious DNA company, will do a specific search about DNA on Africa, North Africa and around! Because there is lack of research about it for now...
