French borrowings in current American English

[Peter Sokolowski]

Hi folks:

A friend sent me this query, and I'd like to put it to the group:

Does somebody track French borrowings (ours from them, that is, not
theirs from us) in some more or less organized way? Is there evidence of
a declining influence of French on English today?

Many thanks!!

Cheers,

Peter
