    Americans never know how to pronounce it anyway

    Do you have an example of an American mispronouncing joule or is that just a gut feeling

      It’s the other way round: all French words are your examples. Each time when I have heard a French word spoken by an American, they did it in a very unexpected way, as if it were not French at all.
