Thread Name: BS: Pronunciation of 'cambric'
Subject: RE: BS: Pronunciation of 'cambric'
Well, now, it seems to me that if you go by the common English pronunciation of other French- or Flemish-derived names (Cholmondeley, for instance)....the correct pronunciation of "cambric" would have to be "CAR". Or maybe, for those who want to use the long A, "CAKE".

Aloha,
