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.

pas mal du tout ton pendu, tu pourrais rajouter dans ton petit commntaire que l'argot parisien d'aujourd'hui comprends le terme "rafale" pour un mel court. Exemple: "claquer une bise en rafale"= saluer rapidement par mel.
