[FurryFury]

Wow, NOW you are talking!

Geez, for the first time today I don't have a headache!

[O'Mac]

You're ALL wrong, it's Mar-kwess.

 

[Xelebes]

I mack-hand unsubmissively anyone who pronounces with such uncouth mispronunciation as Mar-kiss.

 

[Evil_Geoff]

While DVS was kind enough to explain his "not of the two options" way of pronouncing Marquis, the original Three Cunteteers have not.

Give it up, ladies! How do _y'all_ pronounce "Marquis"?

Me, I pronounce it "mar-KEE", with the emphasis on the second syllable. According to Webster, it may be prounced that way or "mar-kwis". So don't be bashful, you cunning linguists... *grin*

 

[graceanne]

Mar-kee.

[DVS]

Too cute.

No, it was the little Dutch boy who plugged the hole.

 

[Marquis]

Bravo!

 

[chris9]

It's French originally, so I pronounce it as such. No 'u' or 'w', no 's' in the end.

 

[ghosst_K&H]

I call him Mar-Quiche, cause I think he's cheezy...j/k

 

[Blushing Bottom]

French so traditionally it would be Mare-kee with a gutteral roll at the end of the first syllable...i think.

[Iron Bear]

Mar-Kee.

Sorry, but I do have some French ancestry.

 

[Marquis]

I actually prefer this to Mar-Kwiss

 

[FurryFury]

I use with more of a Qu sound than KW but yeah, that's how I do.

*shrugs*

I pronounce it Mar-kee, like anyone with an ounce of intelligence or culture would. And with a slight roll to the "r".

How perfectly devastating for the Houghton Mifflin Company, publishers of the American Heritage Dictionary.

Check out the first listing under 'Pronunciation'.

I'm shocked. Shocked.

Perhaps you can give them a call, and set them straight.

After that..... perhaps you could look up the definition of 'class'......
