MODERATORS
I didn't really say either of those, at least in the post. What's your point?
No, but you said "why do the English pronounce" with no qualification that it's neither the only way nor the most common way.
You're right that it does happen, but your title implies it's the sole or dominant pronunciation.
My point was that it seemed to me as if you were assuming from limited information that the pronunciation was prevalent when the source material provided doesn’t state the prevelence.
