Don't forget fillet , which for some reason the English insist on pronouncing "fill-it" instead the Americans saying "fi-lay" which is properly inherited from the French.

Even more fun if you are an American engineer, where a rounded edge uses the English pronunciation for no good reason.

Oh. In that case I don't get your comment, was it sarcastic? Or did the French use to pronounce it differently at some point?

Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
