[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]La Croix, like the carbonated water. I say La Croy. Correct? [/quote]

Yes[/quote]

Not really.  It's french. It's pronounced "kwah" or "quah", with the "kw" sound coming from the back of the throat, in the Gallic manner. Since croix is French for "cross", the corrent pronounciation would generally be "kwah" or "quah".  It's only in the US that you say it to rhyme with "toy", which just sounds awful and ignorant of other languages.  Which Americans generally are.  This whole thread is eye-opening.[/quote]

How's life in your "worldly" stratosphere looking down upon the unwashed masses?

I guess most people in the world are ignorant then. Apparently you've missed the parts where native speakers of other languages massacre English. The important part is people try and they can laugh at themselves for screwing it up now and then. And help others along without being snotty. Which is what this thread is largely about. [/quote]
