[Bell Historians] Re: Carillonneur v Carillonist

[edward martin]

Personally I had never heard of the 'ist' variation, but then I do not play
the instrument
At the Washington National Cathedral, we have both a carillon and a set of
bells hung for change ringing. I have been on good terms with each of the 3
Carillonneurs that have been here since I arrived in 1971 and each of them
has preferred to be known as a carillonneur
Perhaps I have been over here too long, but youy have me at a disadvantage
with your "could it be related to Cheese-eating Surrender monkeys favouring
the former?"
I haven't a clue what that means
