My family owns a kfc - we often would throw an extra chicken tender and like a few extra whole wings in buckets we sold, particularly close to closing. People LOVED when we did it.
There is an unimportant little lesson on how the french pronounce some letters and how the rest of the world finally understood how to pronounce them that I wish I still could point people to, because it's so interesting.
I first heard about it when we had to learn how to form our mouths to say the letter "K" in french. For years the best Americans could say was close to "Koo", but the reality was "Key" while making an "OOH" mouth. I'm sure I'm butchering it but it was fascinating to me how mouths and words are formed.
Glad to help, poopshanks
Not really a spoiler since many languages have influences on English, especially American English. Though many share a lot of things depending on geography among many other things.
True, and same goes for english, even more so I feel like. For this specific word, I'd say it's spelled pretty much how you say it in Québec french, minus the silent ''g''.
That's so true! It's fascinating how local pronunciations can really bring a sense of community and culture. Heroes come in all forms, even in the way we talk!
