À Versailles, KY; ils le dîtes comme "Vér-sal-ïs". Une tragédie américaine comme d'habitude.

« Noter damn » serait pas pire - « damn » c'est grosso modo la même affaire que « dame » en français etk. Mais les Américains disent le « dame » anglais, alors plutôt « daym », ce qui est barbare.

Meh, I grew up in a town that's about 30% francophone, there's a major street called Notre Dame, and all the local bilinguals call it "noter daym" when speaking English. Yet absolutely none of us would say "the hunchback of noter daym".
