When did we start measuring speed in Mack numbers instead of Mach numbers?

I think even with the SR 72 we are in the Wright Brothers stage of advancement compared to this that has mastered physics that we haven't.

When the Brits pronounce "Mach." ;) Maybe the Brits aren't interested in pronouncing Austrian physicists Ernst Mach's name correctly. ;)

It really is true. And Brits aren't allowed to use French words unless they pronounce them with a completely atrocious accent!

Don't get me started...And Americans aren't really better! Try and say "entrepreneur" without making me cringe...Or my first name!
But we get some revenge by refusing to speak English with anything but a French accent.

As to aluminium, why don't we just call it alumium, as initially intended ;)

I don’t get it. The language is named after them, yet the English can’t be bothered to speak it properly!

My wife and I binge watched Planet Earth in BBC America a couple months back. Sir David can barely speak the language, it seems. :peace:

Ahah I had forgotten about this clip!
The first 30 seconds are in French-ish, afterwards...but the accent is nearly spot-on!

Well, that's the trick; you have to know how the "locals" say it, and once you do your ears will hurt every time someone near you says it ever after. Welcome to my life in the land of "ver-sails" Indiana (and Kentucky), and "My-Lan" (Milan) Indiana. I kid you not. They managed to get "Peru" right simply because they couldn't figure out how to pronounce it any other way. It's amusing to me that someone a long time ago thought so highly of these far away places that they named their town after them, but couldn't manage to pronounce it.

What it really comes down to is the fact that each language has its own distinct phonics. Applying US phonics to French and Italian words results in the above, and to be fair, it's not really reasonable to expect nineteenth century farmers to know the French and Italian pronunciation. Which is why we get "Fay-bee-en" instead of "Fah-b'yen", which is hard to write and still muffle the trailing "n", which brings me to the question... why do you do that? :rofl:

Paris (with an S that you pronounce at the end) is the son of Priam, lover of Helen of Sparta, killer of Achilles.

Paris (the city) is pronounced without the S.
Thank you, this PSA is now over. :btt:

edit: why do I do that? Because it's from Latin, and it's the proper pronunciation. If you guys hadn't mixed up Latin, Greek & French with some Old German, you would speak correctly :tongue: .
More seriously that is one of the biggest differences between Latin languages and German/Northern-based languages: in the latter, all letters of a word tend to be pronounced. In Latin, letters are in conjunction to create different syllables whose pronunciation depends on their position in the word.
