Subject: RE: BS: Foreign pronunciations: inconsistencies
Reims can be tricky; apparently,the correct approach is to say something like " Ran Sir ".Ratatouille can be a pitfall for the unwary --"Rat A Tyoo Ee " it may well be to most English people,but I gather it's more like "Rat A Twee Er" ; add some frogs' legs and I suppose we'd be dealing with " Gron Wee Er O Rat A Twee Er". Maybe.
