Remember, small impressionable children, oligarchy and rigged market capitalism is the only way, everything else is evil and anti-freedom, and remember to compete against your fellow Americans to try to get more than them!

I'm interested in how Americans pronouncebourgeois.

[–] Zoboomafoo@slrpnk.net 1 points 3 months ago

as long as the French get offended by the pronunciation, then it's pronounced correctly in American

We just say bourgeois

[–] sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Feel like that's as correct as we can get, as Americans.

French pronounce the "ou" as is "tour". But you do you.
