Thread Name: BS: Pronunciation of 'cambric'
Subject: RE: BS: Pronunciation of 'cambric'
Cambric sounds French to me anyway - should probably be pronounced 'Cahmbree'!

Scone rhymes with gone around here. I have been told it should be pronounced as in the town in Scotland from where the said delicacy came - ie. Scone, pronounced in best Scottish style, scoon! I dunno if that is right or not though.

Anyway, must go. Got a job to do on my cameshaft....

Cheers
