Don't feel bad in other countries the slaughter english all the time, probably the most annoying is in Greece where they are convinced that a silent "e" is actually pronounced as "uh" followed by an ackward pause.

I'm Sorry, but I don't know where you got your information from!
I don't know of anywhere where Moet isn't pronounced anything but 'mo-ey', a 'Filet -o-fish' or 'Filet Mignon' will always be pronounced 'Fil-ay' because it's a name. A Fillet (pronounced Fil-et) would be used to describe a cut of meat or the noun - 'to fillet'.

I'm in the 'Porscha' depending on my mood
