@dan_leatherdale @MichaelRosenYes Also, there's nothing foolish there! It's the accepted usage, it's all good. But some examples do make me chuckle all the time. Like the city of Reims becoming "reamz", or lingerie "laungeRAY" 🤭

@dan_leatherdale @MichaelRosenYes Thing is, I'm a French speaker (dual citizen) in Devon and my pronunciation of French names (and words) will change depending on who I'm speaking to. So I may say DAY-ga to save time. Same when I say English names in French.
