> Pronouncing English literally as if it were Spanish, French, etc. would make it impossible to understand.

I was chatting to a French-born colleague and he mentioned visiting the camping store "Millets". He pronounced it as a French word (something like "mi-ey") and I had no idea what he was talking about. It was unusual as otherwise his english was flawless.
