I grew up speaking German, despite being born in Calgary. And, in German, if there's a letter in a word, you fucking pronounce it! None of this sloppy English bullshit with random "e"s slapped at the end of every other word, or full on British style where syllables are just totally omitted (like Worcestershire... absolutely idiotic). And how in the fuck is colonel pronounced kernel?! Or lieutenant pronounced "left-hannent". Blargh!

Cal-gar-ee.

If you disagree with me, you're wrong!
