Ameri*an mfs removing random letters from words and pretending they weren't important
Tru dat.
Except for “bouy”, which they somehow pronounce with more syllables than there are vowels in the word.
C'est tout à fait vrai. Et nous continuerons de le faire!
Three people in a bar are arguing who speaks the most complicated language.
The English guy: "Well, we write London, but pronounce it ˈlʌndən"
The French guy: "We write Bordeaux, but pronounce it bɔʀdo"
The German guy: "That's nothing. We write "Wie bitte?" [i beg your pardon] and pronounce it hʌ?"
You chose London from the British one? How about Loughborough? Worcestershire? Every -ough word?
I know, it's just a way to make the joke more ridiculous with the (obviously nonsense German in the end). Because in the end, swapping "I beg your pardon" to "huh?" should work in basically all languages, I guess.
I could have started with the French guy using "Paris" and then one of your places for the English guy. I could have kept the French guy on Bordeaux and used a German town like "Duisburg" as a starter - which is one of the cases, where you cannot use the usual rules to guess, how to pronounce the ui. And then do the pun in any other language with a random fourth guy.
English and French are on opposite ends of the spectrum of how predictable the pronunciation of a word is, based on the spelling. French may have a ton of extra letters, but at least it's consistent. The english language has so many exceptions to its rules that you effectively need to learn to pronounce almost every single word separately.
Funny memes. No politics.
