It’s not our fault French was made wrong.
One of my multilingual friends called English the mixed playdoh version of French and German.
I hate it honestly. The french spent centuries ruling England and messing up our language just for the rest of the world to make fun of us for it as if it’s our fault.
“Wah, I’m the British, and I’m upset about being colonized” that’s what you sound like
I’m american but the romans and french taught them how to do it.
And if anyone calls me british ever again there will be consequences
Oh no, an american threatening consequences. What are you going to do, impose tariffs?
it is your fault (collective, not individual) you didn’t change the spelling
rendez-vous’s pronounciation is perfectly regular in french
I know all about etymology and language evolution.
I still think it’s stupid to write “EAU” to say “O”.
all french loanwords should be englishized, this weird reluctancy of english to transliterate or adapt the foreign word to it only causes more confusion
We should write fully phonologically in IPA. You have an accent? Write it down. I want to imagine the voice of the writer better when reading a paper.
