Express Yourself on The Subject Choices. Sorry I can't use typical pronunciation notation; this forum tool just doesn't work that way. |

Tony,
You need to go shooting. Did you shoot the skeet tourney at Metro this weekend? Koerhonen put a beating on everyone with mostly borrowed equipment!

I (and almost everyone I know) pronounce it like #1 but have heard that being a French name it should be pronounced like #2 |

I know it's actually #2, they even have the pronunciation written out on one of their websites I've seen.
But I actually say #1 because I don't want to sound overly urbane.
Also I get credit for the daily word-use challenge now.

#1 is a good choice Dave; it shows suavity to the max. |

I pronounce those hulls as Shi-tee. But I could be wrong. I can't find the word in my old Belitz Teach Yourself French. |

I’m so proud of you guys. You’re all so urbane and suave! It must come from all that time fondling 16 gauge guns and ammo. |

Are those the 300 Frogs who didn't join the Resistance when the Germans surrendered? |
