Pronunciation question
CROCHET.
Now, I've always said and heard it as: crow-SHAY. (and the crow part is more of a creh than crow) (didn't we call that the schwaa sound in phonics?) Here in TN, they say: CROW-shay. Which way do YOU say it? Hugs, Noreen ever the one to come up with discussions, grin! --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

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.

I hear it both ways, too, Slinky. I live just south of Waco.
I usually say CROW-shay, but you're right - it may be my age and upbringing, (since I learned to do the basic CROW-shay stitches when I was a child.) But I find myself pronouncing it cro-SHAY on occasion, too. No doubt the Yankee influence from those 3 years in Boston, LOL! - Lynne D. "SlinkyToy" wrote in message ...

Hey Waco *wave* You coming down to Boerne next weekend for Kid-n-Ewe?
I'll be running a booth, will have a Bosworth DT (the first production model, it has issues but it is a NICE little wheel) among other tempting goodies. Lots of fiber, etc etc etc. On Thu, 30 Oct 2003 20:36:47 -0600, "Lynne" wrote: I hear it both ways, too, Slinky. I live just south of Waco.

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

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! |
