Ok thenWhy do Americans insist on emphasising the last syllable of French verbs such as porter?
Some of the film posters for Prêt-à-Porter showed a phonetic spelling as "pret a port-AY". When most Frenchies give least emphasis to the last syllable of such infinitives.
So has French changed independently of this American linguistic snapshot as well, or are Americans just a bit ignorant?
