The titles "Monsieur" and "Madame" were replaced by "citizen." Similarly, the familiar form of address of tu instead of vous was introduced to establish the same familiarity and equality between citizens. Domergue proposed to replace "royaume" (kingdom) with "loyaume" (loyaldom). Jean Rodoni, author of a Republucan and Revolutionary Dictionary, wanted to rename the currency "louis" to simple "pieces of gold."
