I think it's fair to say that 90% of the time people inject a french word in an english sentence, it's horribly mangled. It used to tick me off but now I'm used to it. It certainly detracts from the person's intentions of sounding fancy, however...

I enjoy scattering misplaced or incorrect Latin phrases throughout text. And using 'irregardless'; a perfectly cromulent word meaning 'without lack of regard'.
