Annoying American pronunciations creeping in - Lilith7 - 04-06-2023

I noticed this on the news when there was am item about the restoration of Notre Dame in Paris, when it was referred to as a 'mid evil' building.


Had to go & look at the pronunciation & came across this.

You can make a formal complaint but if it's RNZ you will get nowhere.
