Years ago I consulted for a French company and analyzed their processes. Heavily depended on Excel. They all pronounced Excel Sheet as “Excel Shit”. All day long it was sentences like"…and then I make an Excel Shit here", “… then I give the Shit to my colleague”. It was glorious… (and technically they were right).

Honestly I think we should blame English people for making sheet/shit and beach/bitch pronunciation so close while their meanings are so far appart.

French can pronounce it correctly. They don’t care. It’s not like it’s hard to elongate the e “sound” they’re not coming from a non Latin language.

Edit : I mean bilingual persons not monolingual.

He rage quit the development.

Fez 2 was announced as “one more thing” at the end of the June 2013 Horizon indie game press conference, held during the annual Electronic Entertainment Expo.[111] The project was canceled a month later following a Twitter argument between Fish and video game journalist Marcus Beer. In an episode of Beer’s GameTrailers show Invisible Walls, the journalist criticized Fish’s response to questions about Microsoft’s Xbox One self-publishing policy change. Fish replied on Twitter with condemnation for the industry’s negativity and, in a final tweet, announced both Fez 2’s cancellation and his exit from the industry.[110] The news came as a surprise to the rest of his company,[112] which has not commented on upcoming projects other than ports since the sequel’s cancellation.[113] Polygon listed Fish in their top 50 newsmakers of 2013 for the social power of his “caustic use of Twitter”.

Bro no one speaks French, the whole language is a prank. French people speak normally when no one else is around.

That’s true, I don’t! Is it pronounced the same in all regions of France? Does Quebec French pronounce it differently? I know very little about French, this just made me laugh.

It would be pronounced like a female cat, Chatte gé pé té. But most of us Quebecois would probably pronounce it exactly as in English, with an English accent.

Chat is written like “cat” but is pronounced like in english. The animal is pronounced like “shah”.

French pronounce chat as in chat, not like the animal. They are morons when it comes to foreign languages, particularly English, but not that much.

If they’re pronouncing four then they’re pronouncing chat in English too, no? In Quebec they’re saying it in English with the usual Franco Quebec accent.
