So which is it?
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."

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.

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