    Actually? That’s incredibly helpful, informative, and ironically not combative. Fuckin’ A, this isn’t Reddit 2.0! Genuinely, well done and thank you. 🥰

      Thanks! I really didn’t want it to be an aKsUAlLy type post. I just thought it was an interesting point to pick up on.

      Also, while OPs spelling of the word doesn’t make sense to me based on what I’ve read, it does make sense phonetically. I’ve heard consome pronounced similarly to “consume”.

        That sort of lazy acceptance, no offense intended, is how we get “decimated” mistaken for “devastated”, and each have their own powerful, useful meanings. To whit, “consommé” comes from Latin consummare ‘make complete’ and is not as simple as merely consuming — as anyone who’s made it can tell you. 🤗
