I'm in agreement with this idea as there is bound to be someone in the audience who knows (or thinks they know) the correct pronounciation. This way you will not be dumbing down, and you will be educating the ones who don't know, after all, as Tamara says, that's what you are therefore. Personally even though I would probably pronounce the laces incorrectly in my own way, I still like to know how they should be pronounced and also their meanings where possible, and would expect a speaker at a lace gathering to be able to educate me accordingly. If you are not confident on your accent why not write them down and may be give as a hand out at the end to any one who is interested. PS If you decide to go the handout route I wouldn't mind having a copy <g> Best of luck Jane Portchester UK - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
