If we said every loan word the way they were originally pronounced in their various native languages then English wouldn't exist.

Perhaps, probably not - not my point though. My native language has a lot of English loan words with local pronunciation, which is the correct pronunciation of those words in my language according to any dictionary, however to indignantly correct someone using the original english pronunciation for saying it "wrong" would just be bizarre.

Cool story bro. How about this, you continue to say cache however you want and I'll continue to silently judge you for it and we can all just move on with our day?

Fine by me, it's obvious you no longer have an argument -- or anything otherwise interesting -- to contribute to this discussion anyway, so what would be the point?

[โ€“] MrJameGumb 2 points 1 month ago

I'm not sure what the point of any of this was. It seemed to serve little purpose.

Have a nice day ๐ŸŒž
