There is q good deal Of misun-
derstandinp about this Important
word How should it be pronouncedY
should it be spelled with one e
or two? Should "employe" be USED
as the masculine form and EN-
ployee" as the feminine form?
Prevalent mispronunciations are

One commentator says EMPLOY
YAY." apparently attempting TO
give the word a French twist. put
"em- ploy-YAY" is a monstrous ny
bird with an English body ana
French tail. It has no sanction. In
the French pronunciation the frst
SYLLABLE is nasalized and the second
contains a "plwa" sound which does
not occur in English, as: ahn)-
plwa-YAY.
In giving the word its English
accommodation avoid decldeo
wee" sound in the third syllable.
The "y" serves as vowel In the
second syllable and is not carried
as a consonant into the third syl-
liable.
First choice: ploy-EE.
Second choice: employee.
In French "employe" is mascu-
line and employee" is feminine.
But this distinction is out OF date
| in American usage, for it Is now
customary to use ZEE" as a SUNK
Of common gender, as: addressee'
consignee, devotee, draftee, evac-
uee, grantee, refuge, etc. Therefore
best American usage is employee,
regardless of sex. .
An exception occurs in the Amer
lean preference for "flance," mas
culine, and "fiancee," feminine. But
in time "fiancee" will follow the
usual pattern.
incidentally all such Zee" words
should receive the main accent on
the last syllable, as: AD-ress-EE,"
draft-EE, REF-yoo-JEE, etc.
