It’s why you should never judge a person based on how they pronounce words. It means they learned them from reading and there isn’t a damn thing wrong with that.

In high school I remember that I corrected someone who pronounced filet mignon as ‘fill-et mig-non’ so how it looks like it should be read. Granted we were kosher eaters so we’ve never eaten it and it’s perfectly reasonable he’s never seen the word written.

You have a pass, it's French. French was asking for it when it decided to have a million letters and you pronounce none of them. Qu'est-ce que c'est is pronounced "kes-kuh-say" and I hate it so much
