écologie
Or environment would be better ??
L'été s'éloigne, l'odeur des barbecues aussi. Mais qui sait que le mot barbecue, dérivé du mot barbaque, nous viendrait d'une langue amérindienne d'Haïti via l'anglo-américain pour désigner le dispositif pour fumer la viande et la viande elle-même ? Ceci pour dire que les mots circulent comme les oiseaux ou les abeilles, et que cette circulation qui enrichit les langues et les cultures tout en jettant des ponts entre elles, sont une partie essentielle de l'écologie linguistique mondiale.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

: Je pense que cela enlèverait l'image de la nature et des animaux en le remplaçant par ce terme générique. Edit - sorry should have been a neutral comment.
