I feel like I'm going a little insane because this is basically how I've always pronounced it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02PWHjtGRSY

And how I've heard other people pronounce it my entire life, including in like British documentaries about the French revolution, but it was like the fifth or sixth "how to pronounce" video that said it that way. Most of the others use something closer to this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MH5BHAICrfQ

which to me sounds like calling the popular pepper "Jaw-Lap-En-Oss"

I've seen some English guides insist that you pronounce the L and I've heard it pronounced that way on some British TV shows but I've only ever heard it pronounced the French way in American English.

Americans are weird about that sort of thing. There's no blue cheese, it's 'bleu'. You can't say 'fillet', it's 'fill-ay'. I have no idea why.

I think American English is just slightly, just slightly, better with importing loanwords from romance languages than the British. Americans are ironically a lot more willing to respect the phonetics of Spanish or French, despite their reputation. Close access to Mexico and a large portion of the continental US being formerly French and Spanish territory did more to shape the dialect than people realize.

Also if you went to the US and tried to pronounce tortilla as "tor-till-ah" instead of "tor-tee-yah" everyone would look at you like you were hit on the head.

Obviously there are some glitches like how Americans pronounce "fillet" like "filet," or the pronunciation of French-derived forte more along the lines of the Italian musical term, but that's just how the dialect evolved.

Aramoro posted:

A lot of American spellings are just down to one guy Noah Webster who just made poo poo up because he thought it was better. He's the reason Americans lost the u from colour, he thought it would be easier for people to spell.

Sadly some of his best changes did not catch on

Soup - > Soop

Machine - > Mashen

Women - > Wimmin


Interestingly he wanted guillotine to be gillotin which suggests he pronounced it like the British.

What a place the states could have been.

This is absolutely hilarious, seeing as the US mangles almost any word they try to pronounce, even if they at least give it the ol college try.

Naming it AI has caused a lot of deeply stupid people to already start believing it's decades (or even infinitely) beyond where it is.
