For genuine French words, it is not a problem, but with personal name - popular in both english and french sphere - it becomes hard to retreive french pages about such "shared personality". As an example, by writing a post about, let say, John Lennon, titled "QuiEst John Lennon", it should now pop up in the first Google screen. For this very example, we might have, after a while, a whole bunch of such "QuiEst" posts. Thanks to Google's power, the best ranked will stay in the first screen anyway. It is what I call a (useful) meme or a (friendly) Google bomb. It is part "wikipedia collaboration spirit", part decentralized defined -sort of- Google's "Define:" feature.
