    “"Calque" is a loanword with French origins, and "loanword" is a calque with German origins.”

    “New words, and particularly loanwords, are simplified, and hence naturalized in American much more quickly than in English. Employé has long since become employee in our newspapers, and asphalte has lost its final e, and manœuvre has become maneuver, and pyjamas has become pajamas.”
