Is it so hard??????!!!!!

What's up with Americans or English slaughtering any word that is not part of their beloved language? Goddamn, is it so hard to pronounce any other word other than your own how it should be? Look at their pronounciation of Italian and Spanish, French, German, you name it. Basically, as soon as they open their mouths and try to speak a different language, they automatically stabb it three hundred times a second. Is it so hard to say grazie instead of graz-ee, or gracias instead of grazias(cus hey, they all sound the same don't they?). They practically kill words, really, no joke, I'm working with tourists and although I'm not a native speaker of any of the afore mentioned languages, I feel pissed upon when hearing their invertebrate ''versions'' of easy-to-pronounce words. It's like they're chewing rocks when trying to speak anything else than English. Either that, or their tongues have been cut off and replaced with rubber ones, thus resulting in original sounds and tones that a normal tongue would do and have to not be available to them. And don't get me started on Dutch, that's even freakin' worse......
On the other hand, they expect us(the rest of the world) to speak their language as clear and as best we can, cause hey, otherwise we're the terrorists !!! Scary, huh? Thought so...
Anyway, that was my rant for today...
Over and out, T.

  1. Looking at the examples, "they" are trying to pronounce them based on the spelling, which however works differently in each language, that's up.

    I'm sure you've never mispronounced an English word ;)
