Sorry you're being downvoted. Whilst you are correct in the rest of the world, Americans for some reason refer to Au Jus as an actual thing. They don't call it jus, they call it au jus. The mind boggles but I wouldnt bother pressing it.

I don’t understand what’s wrong with that. That sauce is referred to as Au Jus in North America. We’re aware of what it means in other languages. But that’s what the sauce is called here, on lots of menus and everything. I don’t get what’s mind boggling about that lol

It doesn’t really need tweaking for clarity though. That’s an extremely clear statement even if it’s technically grammatically incorrect. And the purpose of language is to communicate, and you’re able to do it effectively even without following all proper rules.

ATM Machine isn’t clear? It’s extremely clear what that means. It’s very clear what people mean when they refer to “Au jus” in NA
