A WORD

BY MRS. FRANK COLBY

Today's article is primarily for
radio and TV announcers, as
these "boners." selected from a
list of about fifty complied dur
ing the past week, hurt my ears
most frequently.
FIANCEE FIANCE, "a per-
son betrothed." Fiance is mascu-
line; fiancee is feminine: but
the words are pronounced ex-
actly alike: FEE-ahn-SAY. The
feminine form. fiancee, is seldom
mispronounced. But fiance (the

cent mark above it, is generally
slaughtered. Avoid "FEE-ahnss. .
ENVOY. "a government rep
reSentative next in rank below
an ambassador" Envoy is an
English word, not French. and
SHOULD be pronounced according
to English rules. The first sylla-
Bile rhymes with hen, men: EN-
voy. The commonly heard AIM
voy' is neither English nor
French. The French word is
envoye with an acute accent
over the final "e"), and is pro-
nounced. approximately: ah(n) :
vwa-WAY. So if the urge for ele-
CANT "diction' demands a more
pluSh-lined word than envoy,
one may use the French. making
sure, however. that the word has
three syllables. and a strongly

Senator George who has held
