I keep accidentally saying innuendo and having to apologize because they happen in inappropriate situations.
I just can't help when it pops up.

Funniest thing for me as a bilingual French is people ~~butchering~~pronouncing French words like hors d'oeuvre or whatever. I mean it's funny but okay, that's both no big deal and you can always educate someone and give them the real French pronunciation if they absolutely wanna sound posh.
But then I'm always so torn when somebody has a clearly French name but again, their pronunciation is atrocious. Like, I try to just ignore it, but sometimes I can just imagine myself jumping at them and screaming how they are pronouncing it wrooooooong, hahaha!
I mean, there's Bababooey.
Mine was Pil-ates.
Hey, it's not our fault English just borrows and never adapts the spelling. Or updates spelling as pronunciations change.
English spelling is atrocious.
Haggis and fugu, that's food for cult eaters
Jim Jones, Father Yod, Charles Manson, they're cult leaders
