Here’s my take: let people like what they like. Yeah, I don’t like Budweiser. So what? I know a lot of people that hate extra peaty malt, and while I disagree, they’re allowed to just not like Scottish malt whiskey.
Laphroaig for the win… Was in Oban a few weeks back for a holiday and got a bottle of Kilchomain from the shop across the road from the distillery (no way was I paying the distillery prices - £75 for a 10 year?). Really enjoying it, quite liking the salty overtones.
I think that Oban had a soapy taste for me that I didn’t like. Laphroaig used to be my go-to, since I’m poor, but it’s gotten steadily more expensive for even the cheapest interations. Now I mostly drink Costco’s Kirkland blended, or bourbon. :/
Hey, you’ve found what’s good for you :) I did sample the Oban and it was nice, but not at the price they were hawking it at. My current overall favourite is probably a tossup between the Laphroaig Cairdeas I got in 2017 (I think? I’m a bit fuzzy) and a 12-year non-chill-filtered Aberlour… which are such different taste profiles as to be practically incomparable :D Everyone has different tastes, so… going back to the thread starter, let’s celebrate different tastes.
Low effort. It’s an American service, therefore it’s pronounced Chat Gee-Pee-Tee, not Chut-Jay-Peh-Teh. I mean of course it’s somewhat close in pronunciation but not enough to confuse anyone.
OK but that’s just uneducated then. Because “chat” is a huge hint that this is not a French brand name. They surely know of “chat” as a message application and wouldn’t think of “cat” first…or maybe they think everything is created in France, I wouldn’t be surprised.
No German person says “Chat Gey-Pey-Tey”, it’s so natural to pronounce in English because it starts with “chat”.
It’s instinctive. When you’re monolingual it’s hard to pronounce things the way they’re supposed to and even then the primary language heavily affect the pronunciation and that’s why there’s accents. It’s so affecting that you can tell a french accent from a Russian one.
You’re right, but still it’s English, the world language, and nowadays it’s so hard to imagine that the pronunciation of “Chat GPT” in France is being spread mouth to ears in restaurants and town halls.
I haven’t watched tv in a while but i think it’s pronounced like that in their news. (the french way). Again , you can’t really blame monolinguals.
Bilingual on the other hand, yes. Especially in professional environment. I don’t expect them to have perfect English but at least try to say the words the way they’re meant to be said. French tend to laugh at people who butcher their language but they do the same to other people language’s and they don’t bat an eye. (fuck french spelling BTW ) Neither french nor English are my native languages and i still hesitate saying i speak English because my pronunciation is still a bit weird. I speak native french tho.
How the fuck did you manage to make fun about Americans not grasping that another language can exist, when this entire thread is about how Frenchies can’t grasp that another language can exist.
i think similar contraptions were used in propellant factories of the era as blast shields, but it’s kinda pointless this way when curtain can’t flex under stress. maybe perhaps it will stop tiny fragments or shot and the slowest of bullets, otherwise it would probably cause more trouble when it catches fire
Tbh I’m still in shock that the usually well informed online queer space made bud light a trans icon. Anheuser-Busch donates to Republican candidates that are introducing bigotted bills against trans people
Mainly because Coors was heavily, directly anti gay rights for decades. Bud got the green light by being the less obvious evil, and then it became the default.
