As a non native speaker I've had this with some words in the past that seem to pop up in written form more so than spoken", at least to me... Like "albeit" or, uhh...  "caveat".<br><br>I suppose "pendant" would be another example with a rather different pronunciation in English compared to French. (I don't speak French). I'm desperately trying to think of other words like that, because I swear there's some word of possibly french origin where I always have the urge to be a smartass about pronunciation.<br><br>...I'm sorry what was this video about again?
