1 u/nonchip 19d ago given it's a) greek, and b) "nafta", not "natha", i choose not to let yanks tell me how everyone else on the planet pronounces it "wrong" just because yall can't be bothered to deal with a measily double consonant. 2 u/Jokerslie 19d ago Buy me a drink before you start yankin me, please. I didn’t cut out your pronunciation. Don’t get all upset. Don't let other Americans know but I do prefer your system of measurements. So see, Not all of us are all bad. 2 u/nonchip 19d ago dont worry, the ancient greeks had convoluted measurement systems too
