every time I see someone render a yinglet accent in English as if every s turns into a z (it doesn't), I just assume whoever is making that mistake is French. at least half the time I've been right

in reply to @yaodema's post:
what's funny is my brain can't help but read the english yinglet accent zh's as the same sound as french j
I get that, yeah, and being familiar with pinyin sometimes does the same to me if I'm not expecting it... but it's probably the best way to make the writing more readable, while still getting the accent across
The french translation of the comic decided to get the ying accent across by replacing s with z since french doesn't have the th to yingify.
So the answer to your why is "because that french guy decided it"
Also I am a dumbs and forgot the little black arrow in posts could do stuff.
