Spell and pronounce.
The amount of Americans I've heard pronouncing filet as filay, purely because they're trying to sound cultured, is astounding. It's as though you butcher the language, then decide you will just use the silent letters idea, but in the wrong words. It's hilarious.
Not YOU as in YOU, Lana. You in general.

Last time I checked, 'filet' was a French word, if I remember right 😛
And I had an argument about how I pronounced 'router' while I was there 😂
