My point is that sometimes people pronounce things a certain way because they don't know better.
I dont speak a word of French. I have no idea of the correct pronunciation of Neeece. But I do know how everyone around me says it. And thats not Nice thats Neeeece. Ditto Chilleh. Im speaking English, its not my job to know how a word is pronounced in its native country.

If I edit my post again, then this quoted post will look stoopid. There's no way out now. We're too far down the rabbit hole.Paul the sparky wrote:@monkey
That is total bullshit. You need to make yourself accountable for your own typos by admitting your error in an edit note. Especially if someone has gone to the effort of taking the piss out of said error.
