Title:	e mail
Answer:	courriel

Hints:	1. canadian word

Equivalents:	1. Mel 2. E Mel 3. Mail

Explanation:	The French Canadians love to translate every english word. So they made the word 'Courriel' from 'Courrier' (Post mail) and 'Electronique'. It is now used in France both with the word 'Mel' ('Message Electronique'). The word 'Mel' souds more like the english Mail, so it is used more often in spoken langage.

Very interesting, I knew the word courriel, but I didn't know Mel was used more often.
