um...now that you've redirected a perfectly good English word here, what do you suggest for snorkel, the rubber and plastic tube and mouthpiece device that one uses for remaining submerged while diving in shallow waters?
:I would wonder whether there is enough to be said about the personal snorkel to warrent an encyclopedia article, but I would suggest a second section, perhaps even above the submarine stuff, separated by a horizontal rule, written by someone who knows something about it (i.e. not me), describing the personal snorkel. However, I would not suggest claiming that "snorkel" is an English word, 'cause it ain't.
::What is your definition of English word? Snorkel is an English word while Schnorchel may not be. Regardless of its origin snorkel can be found in a English dictionary, hence it is an English word. By the same token Taoism is an English word even though it was based on a Chinese word.
