>>96939948that's pretty much standard in my part of the world
mostly because english isnt the default language, but still
and i do that all the time, but i rely on the context - the menu in taco bell is MEANT to be pronounced a la gringo, so it can seem a little obnoxious
where i am, though, pronouncing anything that way is mostly to mock the young and the rich and the tasteless - too foreignized for the masses, too local and trashy to be exotic
and that example there doesnt LOOK proper, and it dont sound none either, so, i'm still confused about ur point
