But we use the Quebec French pronounciation of lingerie, despite the dropped accent, rather than the mispronounced lahngeray. More like "lihn-jhay-ree", reflecting our pinched nasal sounds more so than Continental French.

Interesting. My French dictionary has "lingère" (= linen maid) but "lingerie" with no accent. Do I understand that there is one in French-Canadian spelling?
