Le Petit Robert, a prominent dictionary in France, is used as an academic reference and is considered one of the highest authorities on the language, added a new and controversial pronoun in its online addition this year. "i - e - l", pronounced "yell", is a mash up of the feminine 'elle' and 'masculine' il. 

The term is already being used among the youth, but traditionalists are viewing the addition as an export and reaction to the "wokisme" from American Universities.
