If you would like to start a thread about the differences in foreign languages, I'm sure very few would have a problem with it.

What you're doing would be similar to someone coming in here and stating that we all pronounce "Germany" wrong, it's "Deutscland"
Have you seriously never pronounced a word in its native fashion?

Do you call it spa-getti with a soft G? Do you pronounce crepes as creeps? Bordeaux as bor-ducks?

Champagne, foie gras, Bordeaux, creme brulee, schnapps, gnocchi, fajitas, tortillas etc. Do you pronounce all of those wrong too because you speak English, not Italian, French, Spanish or German?
