    Years ago I consulted for a French company and analyzed their processes. Heavily depended on Excel. They all pronounced Excel Sheet as “Excel Shit”. All day long it was sentences like"…and then I make an Excel Shit here", “… then I give the Shit to my colleague”. It was glorious… (and technically they were right).

      Honestly I think we should blame English people for making sheet/shit and beach/bitch pronunciation so close while their meanings are so far appart.

        French can pronounce it correctly. They don’t care. It’s not like it’s hard to elongate the e “sound” they’re not coming from a non Latin language.

        Edit : I mean bilingual persons not monolingual.
