It is actually fairly irritating to me when people do this. It’s not a proper noun. It’s honestly wild to completely change your accent for the pronunciation of a single word in your sentence.

If you had a trans-atlantic accent, you wouldn’t suddenly roll your rs when pronouncing “burrito”, or do an impression of the Japanese when saying “sashimi”. If you did, it would probably sound disrespectful af.

So why does everyone do it with “croissant” and act like it’s totally normal?
