The Brits have never really cared much for other peoples’ languages or how to pronounce foreign words. When I was taking French classes and screwed up I opined to the instructor that her American students were probably the most difficult. She laughed and said we were probably the easiest since we tended to adapt quickly and weren’t embarrassed to make mistakes. The worst were the Brits. They stubbornly refused to admit errors or change their pronunciation so a native speaker could understand what they were trying to say. But back to the subject, at the top end of luxury or speed they do make some really remarkable cars.
