Because I don't know how to say it.

I brought a bottle of framboise over to my parents yesterday for my non-drinking mom(unless she likes it) and non-beer loving sister. Pronouncing it the way I thought, my french speaking mom schooled me and I had to double check her. I came across this site and she was right. http://belgianstyle.com/mmguide/pronounce/speak.html

Thanks... I'll have to bookmark that and take a closer look.

Of course, I still pronounce it "wort" rather than "wert", so obviously I've got a lot of work to do...

Ya, and I pronounce it "Trub" instead of "Troob", whatever, it only really matters if you care.

Did she have say like the French or Flemish?
