Niche drives me nuts as a French speaker. It is not Nitch. It is Knee-shh. I will die on this hill
Could y'all please stop dieing on hills all the time?! I love hiking, but all the corpses are really disturbing.
As a non-French speaker, I completely agree with you. If I use a borrowed word, I do my best to pronounce it like a native speaker would.
As a colonizer, I consider it my duty to butcher borrowed/foreign words. You should hear me say bolognese.
Baloneys?
Buh-LOG-nees.
It's an Italian sauce. Actually pronounced like bolonays
Ouch.
