Top marks for the use of the adjective “foudroyant” in a software preview, that has to be a first!
‘Stunning’ isn’t it? 😂😂
With regal grace, I laid claim to the majestic artifact known as the iPad, wherein resided the grandiose software, Logic Pro. Instantly, an overwhelming wave of rapture surged through my essence, forsooth, this foudroyant software did transcend the depths of my fervent aspirations and ascend to the zenith of my longings, surpassing all preconceived notions with an awe-inspiring magnificence.
Not a bad endorsement.
It's a French word, but can we really use it in English?
It's "borrowed" from the French, but was popular in English usage around the 1760s, until Sound On Sound revived it in their app reviews:

EDIT
I had never heard the word foudroyant before, so asked Google to tell me what it means. Apparently either "lightning" or "terrible". So now I'm confused as to whether SoS liked that feature or not.
Foudroyant = that hits like Lightning
Foudre = Lightning
This boxer has a KO foudroyant. = This boxer hits like the power of a lightning.
The word is never uses litterally.
Perfect, thanks @Montreal_Music
Translated to ‘bro talk:
Like a boss, I grabbed my IPad loaded with the dopest shit: Lo’ Pro 4 screens.
Shazam! Orgasm on Orgasm. Word.
Language continues to be invented by the masses with the tricky parts eschewed.
I’m not the author but I think it was meant as a superlative ie stunning or dazzling. Either way I think SOS like it!
I can see why it went out of fashion. Rubbish word.
Verily. I would never have guessed so many SOS readers were Chaucer fanatics. 🤓
I look upon the grandiloquence of the SoS editor with great éclat.
Yeah, I agree, give the man an éclair.
😂😂
In other words, Logic Pro on iPad blew the journalist's mind so much they got him speaking in tongues. 🤣🤣🤣
Edit: At least decent journalism isn't entirely dead. 😂😂😂
He seemed very very excited indeed - a great sign!
Although radically different from today's dominant descriptive approach, I absolutely endorse this kind of linguistics. 👍
Yes that’s why I posted the link. I sort of trust SOS (sometimes but mostly) for me it added to the anticipation
A word nobody can pronounce, spell or know what it means. Yeah - we need more that that.
I'm a big reader, first time ever coming across that word. Bit pretentious yes, but ballsy! And I know a new word now!
Don't worry, it'll just get shortened to "foudo" in Aus.
It’s good for my education. Makes you want to buy a proper dictionary. But just to show I’m down with the kids here’s what my old mate chat GP had to say on the matter ‘It is often used to describe something that is exceptionally brilliant or impressive, as if it were an intense burst of light or energy. For example, one might describe a foudroyant performance by a musician or a foudroyant achievement in sports’ not bad for something that never went to university 😂😂
Agreed that it’s a good sign, if SoS publishes a positive piece about those two products. In my experience (I rarely read SoS), the site isn’t really about hype.
What I find more interesting, actually, is that we finally get to know who’s had access to the apps. Glad to hear Mary Spender is one of them.
Now, about «foudroyant», it’s obvious that Wherry’s playing it “sophisticated”:
So… Dude swore cuz LP’s lit.
Cool.
The author subsequently went on to use an unusual loanword to amplify their reaction to a specific affordance in the unreleased software package.
(And that was right after a mention of Take a Daytrip. Baptiste comes from NJ and Biral from New England. It’s possible that one of them speaks French or Wherry got to think about French because Baptiste is a French name.)
So, I do find it interesting that, when English-speaking journos use French words, it’s often a snotty thing. The same thing happened in literature in the past. In academic circles in the US, it can become really funny. Like using «chanson» instead of “song”. I mean, c’m’on! It’s not like using the French word for the thing makes it better!
Ah, well… C’est la vie!
(For context: I’m a French-speaking ethnomusicologist and linguistic anthropologist from Montréal. I’ve lived in a few parts of the US in the past.)
That’s a brilliant contribution sir. Hats off.
🤜🤛
I'm pretty darn sure my mom would have washed my mouth out with soap if I had used that word as a kid. She wouldn't have a clue what it meant but would have done it just in case.
Enough of the language already, let's get back to Logique Pro.
