Everywhere you see ‘eau’ or ‘eaux’ it’s pronounced ‘o’. Always, no exceptions. It’s crazy you never noticed that once you know the pronunciation rules of French you can say every word correctly.

4·2 days agoYes, but the service isn’t always sufficient in the countryside. If you live outside the city you still often own a car. But you can easily travel and visit any place in the countryside with a bit of time.
I hate French like the next guy, but pronunciation rules are at least consistent compared to English. An English word’s pronunciation is everyone’s best guess. Sometimes depends on context or tense, even when written the exact same. With French you don’t really have that. It’s confusing, there are lots of letters, but at least it’s consistent.

I remember a video where he suddenly and unironically mentioned and praised Jordan Peterson. Man, so disappointing.
