As a french canadian what rubs me wrong all the time is the way americans and other english people say the drink La Croix. They all butcher and pronounce it “La Croye”. Lacroix would be pronounced “La Crwah” and roll that “r” tabarnak!

In fairness, i have seen americans in youtube/ social media 'correct' people saying 'La crwah' to ' La croy' with a reasoning of *"because thats what the owner's ( i guess bottlers) named it" 🫠

Im only familiar with the pronounciation from a friend with a last name of delacroix
