Did you know?
- The English word 'story' has been adapted into a French verb, storyer, used to describe the act of posting content to one's story.
- When referring to saved highlights on a profile, French speakers use the phrase stories à la une, which literally translates to 'front page stories'.
- While most French speakers use the English term, official French linguistic bodies like the OQLF in Quebec often suggest using the term histoire Instagram to avoid anglicisms. This creates a divide between casual social media use and formal linguistic standards.
