#1 06-May-2020, 08:15Concerning pronunciation of the words: 'Casual, television'
Hello there!
In the series 'Toast of London' Steven Toast pronounces the words mentioned above in a most intriguing way. These words sound somewhat French-esque: 'cazjual, televizjon'. Why would that happen? Is it but a charming peculiarity of his`? Is it fine to pronounce these lexemes the way Steven does?
Thank you!

No. It's unnatural.

He's being theatrical and over-the-top.

Don't use Steven Toast as a model for your own pronunciation!
