Got a source for your "typical British pronunciation" of "pasta" being non-Italian? I read your comment as asserting that typical Brits pronounce it as "par-sta

  > I read your comment as asserting that typical Brits pronounce it as "par-sta" with a non-rhotic 'r' That is exactly the opposite of what TillE wrote. If that were how the British already pronounced the word, there would be no need to change the spelling. > Got a source for your "typical British pronunciation" of "pasta" being non-Italian? This is just infantile. You can verify the pronunciation yourself in any number of ways. https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/pasta https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/pasta (UK pronunciation: /ˈpæs.tə/) https://youglish.com/pronounce/pasta/english/uk https://youglish.com/pronounce/pasta/english/uk , if you want audio samples. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/pasta#Pronunciation https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/pasta#Pronunciation (UK pronunciation: /ˈpæstə/)
