   I opened my Montréal video by saying that "ignorant anglophones" pronounce it as "mun-tree-all", and then the very next word of the video is ... ME SAYING IT THAT EXACT SAME WAY ... and I continue to do so for the rest of the video.

   Obviously I AM THE IGNORANT ANGLOPHONE I'M TALKING ABOUT 😆 but it is hilarious to see how many people think I'm insulting THEM. Some people are really really mad about it. 🤣

   Oh well. I'm never going to stop making stupid jokes, even if these people don't get it. 😉

     @notjustbikes Heh here I think I'm stuck to doing the right prononciation in french and the anglo one in english, I wonder if that's common among french-english bilinguals.

     I actually think this is a narcissism test.

     If someone watches this intro and thinks I'm talking about THEM, rather than making a self-deprecating joke about myself, then they're probably a narcissist.

     @notjustbikes that's overall a healthy heuristic for detecting narcissists. It's not just about grandiose personality and big claims etc but also taking things personally and thinking it's about them or that people should think about them.

     Hey! Who do you think you're calling a narcissist, huh?

     @notjustbikes so, first you call me an ignorant anglophone and now you're calling me a narcissist? Good thing I didn't even watch the video yet.

     @chromatic @notjustbikes Better leave a long ranting comment on the video about how you didn't watch the video to make sure everybody knows! 😃
