    If I had to write it phonetically for english speakers, I’d write CROSS ON

    which is not an endorsement of christianity

      Yeah it seems native english speakers(mainly my fellow muricans) are baffled by the pronunciation of the french “r”.

      It took me practicing it for a while to finally understand how to properly pronounce it, but I’m still ashamed to use it in public for fear of being mocked by both french and english speakers alike. LOL.
