OP clearly never met a French person. Even if they can speak English, that doesn’t mean they will do it just to conviniance a foreigner.

Ok, hear me out.

They changed to domestic worker because apparently “maid” was too dehumanizing.

It’s not much of an improvement.

Quite the opposite in my opinion. Maid is at least a word that is exclusively used for humans. The first thing that comes to my mind when I hear the word domestic is this.
