It's like those stu**d people who decided that "email" was too hard to

This one is not _as_ stupid as it seems to be. It's not "imél", it's
"mél.", and it's a shortcut for "messagerie électronique", like "tél."
is a shortcut for "téléphone" (the kind of things to put on your visit

mél is ugly as hell to the ear.
Courriel sounds way better!
