  • People are going to pronounce things differently, always have and always will. Your just going to have to deal with it. I honestly don't see whats so bad about it anyway. I'm sure there are words out there that if someone wrote down and told you to say, you would mispronounce it.

  • I had a french friend who I met on R6V a few years ago, he told me "fah-moss" was the correct way to pronounce it. Then when I go on to play MW2 last year and say it that way, people are like "WTF are you talking about, do you mean the "FAM-ASS"?" >.< [Edited on 12.04.2010 5:26 PM PST]

  • I live in France and I chatted with the French military. They say "fah-mass". The -s is silent at the end of words, verbs and nouns, not at the end of acronyms.

  • Google translate is horrible for listening translations. Plus, for french, it's always in the You (plural) form, so getting stuff in the other forms is a PAIN. So don't trust google translate. Besides, I've listened to how my french cousin pronounces AK-47. His pronounces it, "Ah Kee Quarant Sept." Not at all like google translate. If that's any indication of how real french is superior to google translate, then I must be mistaken. But I'm pretty sure I'm not. [Edited on 12.04.2010 5:11 PM PST]
