But English bravo can be used for both women and men. Don't be angry because
English borrows Italian words, be proud. (And laugh at any funny changes in
use of the word in the new language).
Americans pronounce their version of the word 'smörgåsbord' ridiculously if
you expect it sound like it is pronounced in swedish. But they don't use the
swedish word smörgåsbord, they use the american word smörgåsbord!
