    It a "fact" that comes from the same received wisdom stable as "Mo-ey" being the correct pronunciation of Moët, which it isn't.
    I don't remember Queen writing lyrics about the Union Jack. "Killer Queen" is the reason I pronounce it Mo-ey. Well, more like mo-ay. How is it supposed to be pronounced?
    You pronounce the "t" at the end.

    There are two reasons that the mo-ay pronunciation is wrong. The diacritic above the "e" means that the "ay" sound is wrong.
    The second reason is more matter of fact, Mr Moët was Dutch.
