Word for 1t
By,Fronk Colby

Shakespeare once wrote: Here
are few of the unpleasant'st words
that ever blotted paper!" And
that's my theme song for today
words that are the most frequently
mispronounced in American usage.
Let's begin with envoy" which
broadcasters insist on Frenchifying.
Envoy, isn't French. 1t has been
English for centuries. The only
sanctioned pronunciation is: EN-.
yoy.
"oN-vuh-lope," for envelope, Is
also the result of thinking that the
word is French. It isn't. The French
word is envelope" mote the two
PSI, pronounced: ahnVLUP. In
best usage our word. envelope, is
pronounced: EN-vuh-lope. OF your
dictionary gives the pronunciation
as "en-VEL-up," scratch 1t out; it's
obsolete)
I have commented on column"
may times The correct pronuncla.
ton is: KOL-um And one who
writes q column Is a: KOL-um-nist.
"SIM-yoo-ler," for SIMILAR, Is an.
other hard perennial. Better say:
SIM-i-ler.
Likewise, there Is no I'll" in per.
colator. Correct: ERkuh-LAY.
ter.
Anglophile denizens Of the State
Department Briticize propaganda as
r"PRoE-puh- -GAN'duh," process as
PROCESSES" and progress as
,"PROE-gress." Sensible Americans
will stick to the established Ameri.
can pronunciations: PROP-uh-
GAN'duh, PROSS-ess. PROGRESS.
Watch "deteriorate." The word
has five syllables. TheIcorrect pro-
nunciation Is: dee-TEER-ee-uh.
rate.
The word respite. by false asso-
citation with despite, is frequently
mispronounced "ree-SPITE." The
Middle English spelling (from the
Old French) was "respit," which &C
curately represents the correct pro.
nunciation. It Is unfortunate that
the word grew an excrescent e.:
The correct pronunciation Is: RESS'
pit.

Why Is It incorrect to say t"tesl bsdiyI
look badly" etc? These common mis- MIS-
takes are corrected in simple. nSntecnniSeaai ~

lake to remove all the coarse fish.
They were ably assisted by HAM.

siderable experience in clearing
lakes and streams. In fact the

in early October when the lake
will be planted with $4,000 selec-
tive bred Rainbow Trout, a specie
which grows larger than native

the drivers to keep their cars I'M

list down, if l have to replace
some of you"
The cab lines are on trial by
the citizens and your conduct
and practices will be watched and
reported to this office"
George Clark, head of the Your
Cab line, told the Express that he
was heartily in accord with the
press in launching a campaign for
safe operation Of the cabs.
Said Clark: 81 have been called
the hard boiled operator for dis
charging several of my drivers
for improper operation of the
cabs, which by so doing have kept
my accidents at a low ebb. When
a report of anything pertaining to
the unsafe method of operation
reaches me, I take. steps to inves-
tigate and if the driver is in fault
| get rid of him and that is the
only way to remedy the fault"
Jack Spicer, senior member OF
the cab owners and head of the
West Side company, could not be
reached for comment on the sub
ject but it is presumed that he
will go along with the safety
move. The Express urges the pub.
lie to report any act of improper
operation to the office and giving
the time place and number of the
license Of the cab.
