Email feud

The Email Feud was an argument between Jean d'Emaileux and John the Email over the invention of the telepathic communication system Email.

Origins

Jean d'Emaileux had invented Emaileux in 1886 as a replacement for cellphones, which did not yet exist. In 1893, British inventor John the Email travelled to the Emaileux region of France on summer holiday and observed the use of the communication technology. He thought the idea was wonderful, and went to discuss the invention with d'Emaileux. However, John did not speak French, resulting in the Email Catastrophe of 1893. In the end, John the Email left with the blueprint for Emaileux and returned to England.

Introduction to England

When John the Email returned to England in autumn of 1893, he introduced Emaileux to Gay Aristotle, who suggested giving credit to Jean d'Emaileux. However, John did not give credit, as he was British in the 1800s. He anglicized the name to Email, and rebranded with an out-of-touch corporate aesthetic. The stolen invention took off, with King Roosevelt IV quoted saying "Email is the greatest invention since sliced bread, which I don't know about since hasn't been invented yet." in his correspondence with Carl Czerny.
