as a swede what pains me isn’t that anglos pronounce it differently, it’s that they seem to insist on making shit up rather than just going with the closest approximation in their dialect.
Listening to americans trying to read swedish gives me vertigo, they somehow make it sound more like slovenian or something!
Tony Irving is an immigrant known for his egregious accent, which is much closer to what i’d expect from english natives if they’d stop making up sounds: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKCIgpFZLL0
