Re: What do you think of people...

[(Anonymous)]

Well, I find people who mispronounce loan words to sound the way their source word was pronounced in its language unbearably pretentious. Unless you're speaking French, don't you dare call that pastry a "kwa-sahn."

DA

With this, it kinda depends for me if the person in question is an ass in general. If they go around judging people for not doing what they do, it's definitely pretentious. If they just, like ... learn languages in their spare time and are basically playing spot-all-the-English-words-that-are-actually-French as they talk, that bothers me less than the people who are running around imitating whatever random language distortion they heard some radio or TV announcer do.

What really bothers me is when schools teach words with the wrong pronunciation or definition because the teachers were ignorant. Sometimes you can clock whoever was in Ms. So-and-so's class decades after the fact, just because they apparently never corrected the Vocabulary Word Of The Day for themselves.

How do you pronounce "croissant", then?

NAYRT - kruh-sont or krah-sont, with the emphasis on the second syllable. The difference in pronunciation between the kruh and the krah version is pretty minor to the point I'm not entirely sure which one I say. But I imagine there could be places where the krah version is a harder pronunciation that stands out more from the kruh version.
