You're mistaken, Pranav. That is how they are to be pronounced
if you are speaking proper English. Look them up!

Many of these are English/British v/s American pronunciations... like
Entrepreneur.. so, while most are on point...some are like "onvelope" and
"envelope"... or maybe that's just me :P

Some words have French origins like "Entrepreneur/Lingerie".So,those who

do not know such cannot be faulted.By the way,did you know that "loyuns

The pronunciation of various words depends on the accent. Be cool with it. It
find it totally cool that we have a distinct Indian Accent. This pronunciation
policing is just sooo wrong. :P
