Thread Name: BS: How to pronounce this Latin phrase?
Subject: RE: BS: How to pronounce this Latin phrase?
My old Latin teacher, Miss Bailey-Reynolds, (an Oxford female graduate Blue with sticky-out teeth and a posh accent you could cut paper with) always said, "Speak Latin with an ENGLISH accent, we're not bloody Italians here!" (Only she used an more racist word beginning with W) She'd have said, " Day more tew iss nih-hill nissy bonn um", speaking exactly like the Queen. She was an eccentric old stick, but ever so funny.
