lol, I speak French. Québecois French, but still.

I'm not telling you how it's pronounced in French, I'm suggesting how I pronounce it in English using French as a reference. I don't really think an accent aigu sounds anything like an accent grave.

I don't pronounce "cachet" as "cachè" but rather "caché".

Indeed, I got confused reading the English pronunciation on wiktionnary.

You are right it's pronounced like "caché" in English. My apologies.

Nothing to apologize for! That's what I love about HN, we're all here to learn. Leave the apologizing to us Canadians ;)
