    It’s a word like “cuisine” that doesn’t just come from French, it’s literally a French word and properly still pronounced the French way, so silent “r” and silent “e” on the end.

      Yeah I’d agree with that, but unfortunately most people aren’t linguistic purists, so absolute prescription doesn’t really work.
