Hello Everyone,

I have found a mistake, look at below: "He ordered the rack of lamb as his entree at the gourmet restaurant last night."
It should be "entrée" instead of "entree", it's a French word and in English it also contains an accent.
Kind regards

You are correct, but in English the accent is often omitted from words such as entree, cafe, fiancee.

However, this word keeps his original form, so the accent remains and also can look for any dictionary and you will find with accent, i.e
entrée noun: 1 [countable]
(in a restaurant or at a formal meal) the main dish of the meal or a dish served before the main course

Although the accent is traditional, it is still commonly used without the accent, particularly in typed material,where the accented e is not so readily available. It has thus become an acceptable form.
I note that in definition 2 on your link, the word is written without an accent when it first appears.
It is listed both ways here:
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/Entree
and here:
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/entr%C3%A9e
http://www.wordreference.com/es/translation.asp?tranword=entree
and you can see the unaccented form in use here:
