    Just to be sure, who created the invite? A German native speaker by chance?

    The first page of results when I deliberately google in English “what is a Jour Fixe” are the following:

    • Blog entry in English written by someone from a Liechtensteiner Organisation
    • Blog entry in English written about the German usage of the Term
    • English Wiktionary entry
    • German Wikipedia article
    • Blog entry in English written by someone from a German Organisation
    • Translation website treating it as a German term
    • Blog entry in English written by someone from Austria
    • Translation website treating it as a German term
    • Blog entry in German
    • Blog entry in German

    Some of that may be personalized to me as a Swiss user of course. But it seems a bit much to be a coincidence. Maybe it is a loan word making its way from German into English now.

      I speak a little bit of German, but no, the guy who created the series is a native English speaker with Afrikaans as his second language.
