Just speak your usual language, Devon. - the language the audience speak.
If you go for fancy french pronunciation wyou will "lose" them, so better to

Have you ever heard of Gros Point in reference to needlepoint? I made a
needlepoint wall hanging that was two feet high and six feet long. Had it

Dear Devon I love your quandary. Shrug off all the nailbiters and the
