why is anglicising worse in your opinion than just copying the french pronunciation

>>78951143
It's so inconsistant.
Can't pronounce crossaint properly but call their main courses entrees and drop the t off fillet.

>>78951143
also i should have said "butchering french pronunciation" since the french dont say it like americans

Asking isn't complaining

>now saying butchering
Yes, I did indeed correct myself to not give you any false ideas of "being faithful" to French pronunciation

Anything else sweetie?

Anglospeak is always bad. I could complain about any aspect of it, because every part of it is shit. Even when it dies out, I will complain that it should have happened sooner.

Languages aren't created with a rigid system in mind, they grow and change over time. It's pretty retarded to complain about a natural phenomenon that will happen no matter what.

weirdly enough non-rhotic accents tend to say *H*erb, where as rhotic ones tend to drop it. Who drops t's? I don't know the spread of that, I tend not to say t's in words

so antipasto becomes anny-pasto. It sounds retarded but it's how I speak
