When you don't know how to spell a French word, just dump your whole hand of Scrabble tiles on the table, I guess.

All the people here in the comments think they’re Judge Judy and executioner.

[–] baguettefish@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

would be awesome to have a tv judge execute people on the spot, specifically billionaires

[–] Noel_Skum@sh.itjust.works 4 points 5 days ago

Nothing stopping you from spicing-up tv talent shows with judges that can execute. Put some real tension in to those sing-offs.

France: We would appreicate it if more visitors spoke a little more French

OP: I know, since a lot of people know English, we'll teach it with English phonetics so they can understand it better.

Phrahnse: No, not like that.

Fish written with english phonetics is pot, which is extremely cursed and why the english phonetics mustn't be used, ever.

Whilst we're on the subject of 'fish' bring spelt weird, Ghoti (wiki link) is a "cursed" spelling (though not a phonetic one).
