Entree, is the original FRENCH for the introduction / entry point of a meal, so the real meaning is correct for the "appetizer " part of a meal.
To use it beyond that is a deviation of the actual meaning of the word. So if used in the US for the main part of a meal is a distortion of the word usage.
Taljing of "Aluminium"versus "Aluminum". The chemical/element series is actually corect as ALUMINIUM, as that is the correct suffix for many of the natural elements. Therefore the US use of Aluminum is actually a distortion of proper material name.
One that is quite infuriating to most of the english speaking electronics industry, and even some other languages, so to people in electronics is the distortion of saying SODDER, when refering to SOLDER, a nane given to the originally formulated eutectic compound for making electrical connections, typically a Lead/Tin compound, but with some range of details including other metals, now also as LEADFREE formulations, made and enforced internationally for electronic manufacturing, with some hi reliability, medical implants and aerospace, needs exempted. That being to remove Lead from the environment as much as possible, after forbidding it in paints, printing inks etc. Sadly that 'Leadfree' soldering remains a major reliability issue, that is only saved by the rapid obselescence of the modern 'disposable' oriented society and rapid new 'latest and greatest' product advances.If electronics in your modern car fails regukarly, a major cause is bad soldering due to Leadfree use.
Once much equipment and electronics was expected to work for many years now many products are almost annual replacements and so cheap (ex China) that it is affordable to get the new TV, mobile Phone Audio system, appliance, etc almost annually or bi annually, not expected to work fault free for over over 10 to 20 years. Products are barely new/current for the time it takes to get it home after buying the latest and greatest, must have latest thing.
