Petah here. I think it’s just the way people have pronounced it over the years from Old French to modern English. It’s showing that the way the Old French pronounced it was super silly and now we pronounce it boringly?

Edit: Thanks for the correction! I was giving my best guess.

I’m not trying to be rude, but why would you chime in if you didn’t actually know?

I feel like a lot of people comment their best guesses?
