A Plea from Miss Magpie via Me!

I seem to be resident poet
I'm not very good and I know it!
but when it comes to selling Ver-may
Miss Magpie has asked me to say
can you pronounce it the way that I've wrote it!​

You are an excellent poet Klos!! And I understand where Miss Magpie is coming from with pronunciation. Now, does Ver-may rhyme with Brio-lay?

Ha ha good one Calvin, I never thought of that! Pinkpussycat just asked about Briolette/Brio-lay on the TJC thread too! :mysmilie_687:

Yes, Sammi. (They often pronounce it ver-meel!)

Would that be the Middle English or French pronunciation then Krosbint? xxxx

:mysmilie_61: Pure Scottish Lurgey! "..................the way I've written it" just doesn't have the same ring to it!

Ah, KB,I don't think I ever properly congratulated you on your graduation, with honours, from the William McGonnigle school of creative writing...... It was the Ernie Wise prize wot you won, was it not?

Since we're having a little whinge on the "naming of parts".... so to speak.... the "briolay" thing irks me as does the "marquee" cut.... it's not a ruddy tent.... why do so many of them persisit in this? (This is a general comment about jewellery presentations, not just RocksTV, by the way!)
