The only American pronunciation that stops me in my tracks is "nitch" for 'niche'. Whereas in the UK we'll pronounce it "neesh".

- pessimizer 14y agoWow. An example where the British chose the French pronunciation and the US is (a bit spottily) tending to Anglicize a word. I never can think of one when I try. Thanks for that.
- arethuza 14y agoCoupé is my favourite - in the UK it is pronounced the French way whereas in the US it seems to be pronounced as "coop".
- metageek 14y ago"Neesh" is taught as Correct in the US, though it's not universally used.
