It's rarely done well - you're telegraphing "look at me, I'm different!" every time you use it. -- By analogy, if you mention "chair" most people envision something like a Windsor chair. But a chair can also be a recliner, or a beach lounge chair, or a bean bag chair, or a Panton chair. You don't have to have to spell it "cheire" to reinforce that it's not a stereotypical chair. As long as it fills the role of a chair, just call it a "chair", and make sure any differences are mentioned when they become relevant. | |
