it’s not pronounced how you think and it’s Italian.

As an American with Italian ancestors, I spit on him.

I am also an American with Italian ancestors.

I would not spit on him....I would change the “p” in spit to an “h”!

This surprises me

Do Italians actually use an English style long A in Kray-po?

Or is that an Americanization

I was unaware of any English style long As in Romance languages

I am decent in Spanish and Portuguese and could survive well spoken Italian in the near north of Italy

French, apparently. Wikipedia says he’s a (very distant) relative of William Crapo Durant who founded GM.
