We can. It sounds like 'Kant'.
No we don't
I pronounced Camus as "came-us" for like a decade before I was finally corrected by a QT while I was pretending to sound smart.
Did not get the number. Did not like them apples.

'Kant' is supposed to rhyme with 'aunt', but if you pronounce 'aunt' like 'ant' then it's all out the window.
So 'Kant' rhymes with 'want', 'can't' rhymes with 'ant'
>My real issue is with the people who think "Borges" rhymes with "gorges"
And tying this in with British pronunciation, Will Self pronounces his name 'Zhorzh Louee' and I forget what he does with the surname but it's somewhere between 'gorges' and the correct way

Native pronunciation and correct pronunciation (in a foreign language) are not the same thing.
For example the name Edward is pronounced as Edvard in languages that don't have the /w/ sound. It's not wrong.
