Quote: Then you'll prolly enjoyMuphry's Law if you're not already familiar.

Quote: Did you mean to say that it's all "relative"? So I had some really great Yo-Plate yogurt this morning.

Quote: I do the same thing...sort of lower myself to the level of other Americans...but which way is "correct"?

Quote: Only to uncultured Americans.

Quote: I was referring to pronunciation, not spelling. You might have noticed that I do spell it with an "S" on the end, with the exception of when I spelled it phonetically. This is a thread about pronunciation, right? Not spelling? I'm sorry if it went over your head.

Quote: What makes me think it's pronounced without the "S"? Is that what you're trying to ask? The fact that an "S" at the end of a word in French is not pronounced. Ever heard of "Les Miserables"? Thanks!

Quote: What language to they speak in Belgium? Thanks.

Quote: Same with Marans. They're really like "muh-RAHN" (no S), but you know, when in Rome...(or, when in America)...I just say Marans like they're Karen's. It's funny when somebody corrects me and says "Mar-RANS". heehee.

I think the more important thing people could do is to understand that "Mille Fluer" is not a breed. So many people talk about having/wanting some "Mille Fluers" and they usually mean d'Uccles, but really it's just like asking for "Wheatens" and not specifying the breed.

remember, always hit the ending in French...doo-CLAY!

Quote: I suspect "meel" is probably more accurate...dunno. I'm a noob to French, but I hope to speak it without an American accent soon.

Quote: This is correct. Mille (thousand) Fluer (flowers) d'Uccle (of/from Uccles) mill-flur doo-clay well, you could add an extra half-syllable to "fluer", like "flewer", but just hardly touching the "w" sound.
