  As do I.  I don't want people to think I'm a douche for using it though.  Like the baby brand Chicco is actually pronounced Keyco, but I purposefully mispronounce it because nobody knows that.

  I was not aware of the French pronunciation of this word.  I say EM-py-er.

  When I'm hanging out with my high school friends, I say it the French way, because we took French class together. But mostly, I say it the English way, since English is our primary language. After all, I don't take the time to pronounce "crossiant." all snotty.

  Honestly, I speak french and it never occurred to me to say it the french way until I heard Stacey London say it on What Not To Wear.  But really, who says that???  

  If something is french I say it the proper way, but did the french invent the empire waist or something?  Why would we say it that way????

  this! But I'll take Stacy's word for it since she knows WAY more about fashion than I do
