    Sorry gentlemen, but intentionally mispronouncing words for the sake of it is about as worldly (and classy) as pronouncing Edinburgh edin-burg as opposed to edin-burr-e. There is nothing stupid or presumptuous about pronouncing a word correctly

    We've had the matter settled by two gentlemen who speak French; let's leave it at that.

    As this is true we all do have to take into account that different dialects pronounce words differently. Northern France may pronounce some words differently from Southern France and same for French-Canadian.

    matter of fact is i feel right stupid saying "dude.. i usually catch a bbs real late nite after i have my grande meal.. then i splash some PEE-no"

    infact.. makes me feel like an alex trabek wannabe...

    but if that's how it's done.. that's how i'll do it.

    I don't think anyone claimed that pronouncing it as the French do is stupid or presumptuous.

    Yeah but how are we going to do that? The operator will only understand us if we pronounce it correctly!
    Find me on SRP's official chat in ##srp on Freenode. Link is at top of SRP's homepage
