    On the same note, we should either change the spelling to “rondevoo”, or pronounce rendezvous as “ren-dez-vouse”, this having words pronounced entirely different from the spelling just adds confusion

      The word coming french has to do with it in this case. But to be fair, the french changed the spelling of “beefsteak” to “bifteck” to match the spelling with the pronunciation, so feel free to write “rondevoo”, I guess.
