This has become a pet peeve of mine and as a non-native English speaker I just don’t understand why so many people make that typo in the first place- what is it?

    Yes, words have etymology, but it doesn’t really change anything and doesn’t make latin, french, whatever-origin loanwords not be english or whatever the language is they’re loaned to. You can’t say “…well ackshually guillotine isn’t english, it’s french”.

    PS. It was a dumb joke.
