I pronounce /x/ as [ç] before e/i, but also before o in Jorge [çoɾçe]

He says:

Herpes, Hanukkah, hardware, hobby, historia (yeah, with a /h/), etc.

While juego, jabón, jamón, jefe, viejo, etc. with /x/

Normally it's said that French was just the language of the elite, but if that were true, then how come words for common everyday life things (that already existed in Old English) got replaced by French words?

Like face, uncle, language, voice, or because

Lucarium /lʊkarɪ.ʊ̃/ > loguero

Vaporeon /wapɔrɛ̃.ɔnɛ̃/ > vaborón

Snorlactem (accusative of Snorlax) /snɔrlaktɛ̃/ > esnorleche

Pidgeonem /pɪdɡɛ.ɔnɛ̃/ > peón

Think about it, he has a vecindad where there are relatively few residents, and one of them owes him like 14 months of rent

In usual circumstances, Don Ramón would have been out by month 3, but he isn't, why? Cuz being a landlord is not his real business

So he just uses all of it as a façade like the car wash in BB

Like, Classical Latin if it from through the Changes from Middle English to Modern English

gutta > /ɡʌt/

luna > /laʊn/

nasus > /neɪz/

sōle > /suːl/

lūnam > /laʊn/

vītam > /vaɪt/

sōlem > /suːl/

nāsum > /neɪz/
