Dolce, dulce

let's call the whole thing off

It's pronounced "douchy"

Is that Duce Il? He sure doesn't look good.

It depends on what kind of restaurant you were at. :) In Spanish, the word is "dool-seh," but I think in Italian it's "dool-cheh."

I am so lazy, I say "duls du leck"

COQ!

Are you writing that ch as in Michigan (American pronunciation) or as in cheese?


round here it seems to be "Dull-Say Do Lesh".

I've always pronounced it doll-chay. But it depends how you pronounce doll I suppose :)

IMHO Curriculum Vitae is mostly mis-pronounced. I always understood vitae to rhyme with mighty instead of being pronouned vee-tay. I say CV to make sure people know what I'm talking about.

Re v and w Dani, I agree. The Harry Potter clip of them levitating a feather saying Wingardium Leviosa annoyed me. I read it as Wingardium Lewiosa, which I'm sure is more correct. Still, it seems as if magic is as much about intention as words, as Hermione gets it to work.

a CV here is a Resume. problem solved. Sorta ;)

cheese

As in rez-oo-may or rez-yoo-mey?

I've always heard and said "Lignum Vitae" to rhyme with mighty, and "Curriculum Vitae" sounded like Vee Tay.

the first one. but a Brit would say it the second way.
