Sometimes it's just fun to be silly. Sometimes that English word is a French word that has been adopted into English so long ago that people forget that it actually is a French word, so pronouncing it with a French accent, is only pronouncing it properly.

Silly, but fun; or pretentious. I don't know the person so I can't make the guess. If it had been me, it would have been because I was being pretentiously silly. But, hey...that's just me.
