> Because French people working in the IT industry don't know it's an anglicism and are used to pronounce English words the English way. I am French and indeed in IT. Why do you think we do not know this is an anglicism? We went to school too :) > However if you work in the construction industry you will hear "un pipeline". Pronounced "un pipeuh-linne"? I had no idea that such a pronounciation existed but why not. > In French, do you pronounce CIA the english way ? And API ? CIA: cé-i-a API: ey-pi-aïe or a-pé-i But FBI would be ef-bi-aïe
