Reading an English word with the French pronunciation is exactly what I would expect from the French

I mean its not like a lot lf Americans put a lot of effort in promouncing foreign words and names correctly as well

It's fucking obnoxious, especially working in the tech industry. Hearing the French pronounce things like "Python", "Java", "JBoss", "WildFly" etc for prolonged periods of time was just plain painful.

Don't know if that was just at my company, but first conversations were wild and at first I thought we were using some in house produced software.

I (involuntarily) work for a French company, because they bought us, and it's not just the pronunciations that will get you. They also like to use certain English words which are currently fashionable (it seems) and apply them to every thing, thereby creating misleading statements...for example, for them "Backend" (as in a server based service) is always "Backend for Frontend (Bee Effe Effe)", which is a specialised term, but now in France a synonym for just "Backend". Another one is "actually", they love to say it. This or that is ACTUALLY correct. "Oh so there was a different way to do it beforehand?" - "no, what are you talking about?"

As an English speaker, I would not even know how to pronounce a French acronym such as UTC in French.

GPT is an acronym, not a word.

[-] itscozydownhere@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah but it is (or should be) expected that to live in this world in 2023 you should know English and at least how to pronounce an acronym made by an American company

I’m Italian so not a native speaker either, I just hate ignorance and pride of one own language to the point that you don’t want to learn anything else. Happens often in my country
