as ive said im not saying Chilly is correct. But Chilly is in standard usage. We dont speak no Spanigde over here. Look substitute people saying Paree or Roma if you like, point is people using the original language version of the word(with or without accent) is annoying as fook. Where I am right now the normal way to say it is Chilly, Rome and Paris. Not Chilay, Roma and Pah-reeeeeeeeeee.Kow wrote:Not putting on a foreign accent is normal but there's nothing weird in Chilay, it fits just fine in English pronunciation. In fact pronouncing it Chilee is weirder as it's putting on a different accent for some other country. Chile as an English word would not be pronounced Chilee any more than it would be pronounced Chilay, which is correct.

Its down to what is in common usage. It is common for Paris to be pronounced Paris, Nice as Neece,Chile as Chilly.How would saying Paree be weird if that were the norm? How is that any different to Chilly being the norm instead of Chilay?Kow wrote:No paree would be weird. You say Neece though, don't you, not Nice?
My point is that sometimes people pronounce things a certain way because they don't know better.

Sometimes after school, we'd play Block 40 40 before going home for dinner.
