I just assumed they are the French/English variations on the same word. I would expect the French version to have the accented E, though. Maybe dropping the accent is just a way to streamline the graphics on the labels. A marketing/graphic design decision rather than a grammatical one. Labeling aside, that's a pretty nice bike for sawbuck.
Mine was the same year as yours, and looking at old catalogs online made me believe it's a 1982. On the stock Rigida blue label rims, the frame fit 28mm Paselas, easy. The 105 stoppers you have are big improvement over the Dia Compe 400s, or whatever the bike came with. They were utterly forgettable calipers, apart from the snappy black armband they wore (no doubt to commemorate the cyclists who died because they couldn't stop in time.)
