Thread Name: BS: ...age pronunciation
Subject: RE: BS: ...age pronunciation
I normally say fee-LAY-ing but certain of my in-laws have a profound complex about others being more educated than they, so to help keep their hackles down, in their presence I say filleting. (They think a French pronunciation is an attempt to make them feel dumb, but it's simply the one I grew up with, Ottawa area.)
