heckin what?
just discovered some LA'ers say "La Croix" like "La Crah"
I've heard "La Croy" (correct)
and "La Qua" (tryna be fancy)
but how what how?
@tcql like, crwa - cr as in crew, wa as in... water but lighter and the a more like "ah" than "oh"
trust me im french
@tcql but they're all wrong
oh americans
@CobaltVelvet @tcql
Problem is that english native speakers (apart from Afrikaaner speaking South Africans) are UNABLE to pronounce correctly the freaking "R".😉
As well as a few of the french diphtongs ("oi" being one).
@tcql @CobaltVelvet that is the most awful thing I've ever read. (Canadian; my French is terrible, but I know how stuff is pronounced)
@CobaltVelvet so i'm talking about (and so are the people i'm complaining about) the sparkling water drink made and named by americans.
The company suggests the rhyme "Enjoy La Croix" to say the name correctly
