EX: Patrick Roy
Its because he is french. The name isnt always pronounced like that Ex: Derek Roy. Roi is french for king so thats what it means and so some people just pronounce it the french way. like when saying Huet, you dont pronounce the T.
Ro-wah, cause their are french. it’s just the accent.
Since I’m not french, I don’t speak with an accent so it’s Roy, rhymes with boy, as far as I’m concerned. Just like I pronounce Mexico, Mecksico, not Mehico, cause I’m not Mexican.
But some people are pretentious and insist on suddenly adopting foreigners accents when pronouncing certain things.
Because the whole world does not speak English, or pronounce things the way Americans do.
Because he’s a frenchman and can’t pronounce it properly. I’ve met the guy’s cousin, and he pronounces it ‘Roy’, not “Rrr-wah”.
