Well, over on this side of the pond it's CROW-shay for us commoners,
while the upper class tend more towards CRAIR-shay. I call it crash- s**t when it all gets too tangled ;-)) -- Sue CD...quietly unravelling in Cumbria... Pot Luck Crafts www.howhill.com Sue's Project Pages www.howhill.com/projects Please take off your shoes to email me! |
Back home in Illinois its "cro-SHAY", here in Texas I hear it both
ways and it is usually age-dependent - older folks call it CROWshay, younger ones (like me, decrepit tho I am getting) call it croSHAY. However, I have a nephew who is 6'4" and quite adorable who CROWshays thread doilies. His g'gma taught him, and she CROWshayed, donchaknow.

It's crow-shay for me and I've never heard it pronounced any other way.
