Most of the examples of "coup de grĂ¢ce" are wrong. That was a bad choice of example phrase to put on the website. The last word should be pronounced like "grass".
Everyone seems to be saying "coup de gras" (rhyming with bra) instead, which is a funny malapropism.
Native English speaker, French is my second language.

Otherwise it's a neat idea!
