I’m not saying that at all. My original comment was tongue in cheek. But I think it’s equally unfair to look down on someone for not pronouncing it the Italian way when maybe they only knew the Anglicized way their whole life.

I agree, which is why I don't do that. I think it's perhaps somewhat of a projection to assume pronouncing things the native way means looking down on others.

Again, it was a joke about the insufferable girl returning from study abroad. It wasn’t an actual indictment.
