Thread Name: BS: How to pronounce this Latin phrase?
Subject: RE: BS: How to pronounce this Latin phrase?
We think Joe Offer had a good point when he started his post with:
"Well, I've always heard it as..."
We shouldn't have asked for the "correct" pronunciation but, instead, we should have asked how you have heard the phrase pronounced. After all, this is a play and we're trying to reflect the way most English people would have pronounced it in the 1920s whether it was "correct" or not.
