Thread Name: BS: Pronunciation of 'cambric'
Subject: RE: BS: Pronunciation of 'cambric'
Dicho, most people that I know say CAY-po. It may supposed to be pronounced Kaw-po but that ain't the way that I learned it. I thought it a very similar situation with cambric. I have also heard chalcedony pronounced chalSEdonee, kalKEdonee. and kalSEdonee, all from geographers. Correct pronunciation is a flexible term.
