Thread Name: BS: How to pronounce this Latin phrase?
Subject: RE: BS: How to pronounce this Latin phrase?
Legal Latin is pronouced differently from either, though, with the words pronounced as if they were English words spelt that way ~~ so that, e.g., 'nisi' becomes 'nigh sigh', as in the 'decree nisi' awarded in a divorce case. So a lawyer would render this as "dee more tew is nill nigh sigh bonn 'em".
