Although these French loanwords are arresting, but it is better to be
cautious to use these loanwords.
What follow is quoted from The Element of Style (4th ed.), by E. B. White
and William Strunk, Jr.
[quote]
An Approach to Style
[...]
14. Avoid fancy words
Avoid the elaborate, the pretentious, the coy, and the cute. Do not
be tempted by a twenty-dollar word when there is a ten-center handy,
ready and able. [...]
If you admire fancy words, if every sky is beauteous, every blonde
curvaceous, every intelligent child prodigious, if you are tickled by
discombobulate, you will have a bad time with Reminder 14. What is
wrong, you ask, with beauteous? No one knows, for sure. There is
nothing wrong, really, with any word — all are good, but some are
better than others. A matter of ear, a matter of reading the books
that sharpen the ear.
[...]
20. Avoid foreign language
The writer will occasionally find it convenient or neccessary to
borrow from the other language. Some writers, however, from sheer
exuberance or a desire to show off, sprinkle their work liberally
with foreign experssions, with no regard for the reader's comfort.
It is a bad habit. Write in English.
