They're French in denial
Isn't it funny
Stop
It's like watching an elderly person trying to be hip and trendy.
Because our forefathers wanted to tell the brits to fuck off, and did many minor changes to our dialect. That's my guess.
Is it possible to say 'crisps' without sounding like a total fucking fag?
The question isn't why we do, but why you stopped. It was originally pronounced with a silent H by all English speakers.
So Americans say erbivore? Very interesting
>meanwhile you butcher any other French pronunciation

American english > sound of choking on a dick while speaking ""english""
>Americans proncounce fillet "feelayy"
no
more like "Fillayy"
>"Fillayy"
Bullshit. It's because of accents and having low initial literacy rate. I'm surprised American English doesn't differ more t b h. Some British accents pronounce it without the 'h' too.
worst part is that in French the et at the end is pronounced as eh, but Amerilards pulled the ayy out of their asses
Yes, just don't do it in a yank accent.
>The name
Say "squirrel".
Our literacy rates were roughly comparable to England's early in our history. The actual differences emerged because we standardized our English before the Brits did and kept several things that the Brits did not. Webster's dictionary, which standardized English pronunciation and spelling for the United States, first appeared in 1828, whilst the English Pronouncing Dictionary which standardized Received Pronunciation appeared in 1917.
Visitors from the British Isles in the 1800s routinely commented on the relative uniformity of American speech across the entire country in contrast with the very diverse accents and usages from back home prior to the advent of RP.

>brits pronounce french words wrong on purpose just to be sassy
Dunno why this is always used as a supposedly "difficult" example when there are so much better ones out there, such as "sixths", literally impossible
There are a number of people in both dialects who speak like they have a dick in their mouth.
American English is the worst thing ever happened.
No, you are but an Ireland.
Vocaroo "sixths" for us. It will amuse all.
I could understand him, but maybe from her vantage it was harder to gather
