The OED confirms naivety is also an English word that's been around since at least the 1700s. I am not implying naïveté is wrong in English, just that there is a simpler option sho…

It's especially interesting as my capacity to vote seemed to only kicked in today after a week of being green. The last week my votes seemed to go through but then the arrow reappe…
