[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In English: pree fix

In French: pree feex

I sometimes say price fix because when you say pree fix people look at you like you have two heads if they're not familiar with the term.[/quote]

This. Go ahead and say pree feex when you're in France, but in the U.S. you just sound pretentious.[/quote]

It's pretentious to use correct pronunciation for a foreign language expression that is commonly used in the U.S ? Please. Stop glorifying ignorance. [/quote]

LOL, ok... but how do you pronounce croissant while in the US? Or bruschetta?[/quote]

I say cwahssahnt and broosketta.[/quote]

NP. Then you're annoying.[/quote]

What do you say? Croys-ant? Bruh-shetta? That sounds worse to me, only slightly better than ordering a kaysaDILLA.[/quote]

NP.  I agree, you're annoying.  [/quote]

PP, ignore ignorant person above.

I think there's something wrong with you if you know the right way to do or say something, and yet you insist on doing it the wrong way.[/quote]

I'm the cwahssahnt and broosketta PP, but I didn't post about quesadillas, so obviously more than one person feels this way. And I agree with the above - why on earth would you deliberately mispronounce something? Do you use the old school English affectation of pronouncing filet as fillit? Do you pronounce the ls in tortilla? That is 100 times more grating to my ear.[/quote]
