Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
Sister Communities:

Don't forget fillet , which for some reason the English insist on pronouncing "fill-it" instead the Americans saying "fi-lay" which is properly inherited from the French.
Even more fun if you are an American engineer, where a rounded edge uses the English pronunciation for no good reason.
Mate the french pronounce it like this: https://youtu.be/0FtA2UeZLgY?si=okQ63PbWjtbLlyRv
Yes. That's my point.
Oh. In that case I don't get your comment, was it sarcastic? Or did the French use to pronounce it differently at some point?
