The pronunciation of various words depends on the accent. Be
cool with it. Itfind it totally cool that we have a distinct Indian
Accent. This pronunciationpolicing is just sooo wrong. :P

Some words have French origins like
"Entrepreneur/Lingerie".So,those who donot know such cannot be
faulted.By the way,did you know that "loyuns (Lions)live a
voylent(violent) life devoid of playyer(pleasure) on
Suchrday(SAturdays)"!!
