I grew up speaking German, despite being born in Calgary. And, in German, if there's a letter in a word, you 🞵🞵🞵🞵🞵🞵🞵 pronounce it! None of this sloppy English 🞵🞵🞵🞵🞵🞵🞵🞵 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 🞵🞵🞵🞵 is colonel pronounced kernel?! Or lieutenant pronounced "left-hannent". Blargh!

Cal-gar-ee.

If you disagree with me, you're wrong!
