In French it would be "Faux-qui-err" wouldn't it? I long ay would require an et? But i could be wrong. It's been two decades since i studied French.



Who cares that’s not how we pronounce it in VA.

Pay for journalism. Why do you expect it for free?


Why do you expect to be so heavy all the time instead of loling at funny banter? The Faw was funny

I’m sure you don’t look down on Americans who pronounce the S in Tours, either? Or pronounce Reims “Reems”? It’s the “American way”. *shrugs*
