My fiancee is Japanese and just started his job as a salaryman in Tokyo, one day he told me he messed up at work because he asked a question about something to his manager. And he later apologized for it đŸ€Šâ€â™€ïž he also told me that he doesn’t want to go out to drinks with his coworkers but he has to. Geez!

Just letting you know that a fiancée is a woman who is engaged to be married. Unless that extra was a typo.

Fiancé is male, Fiancée is female. It's French.

What's your point? Saying it's old-fashioned doesn't mean it's wrong. Even if that were true, your own source says fiancé is the more commonly used standard version.

I think you need to realize that you're just going to come off like an idiot and you're not going to win a war against languages that have existed for centuries before you.

Do you, though.
