Good evening, my friend Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen When in France it can be advisable to imitate Rodney Dangerfield and just speak more loudly and be the ugly American they love to deride. :-)
Yes local pronunciations tend to trump common understand. When I was stationed in Columbus Georgia, I learned that Jordan was pronounced Jerdan, Buena Vista was pronounced Buana Vista, etc.
Sherbet “sher-biht.” is how I pronounce that wonderful desert. Sorbet is common in this area of northern Virginia.
As somebody who was taught German and was stationed there I learned pronunciation of German food such as Weiner [Vienna]
