OK, when I write "ay", are you thinking more like "aiee" kind of? Like, someone with a South Carolina drawl? Because that's not what I mean. It's more like a gentle "ay" sound.... I can't really explain this. Um, it's like "ai", not "aiee". E.g.: "été" isn't prounouced "aytay", but "aitai".... OK, I give up. I can't explain. It sounds right in my head, but it can't be written down.[ December 26, 2002: Message edited by: Galadrie1 ][ December 26, 2002: Message edited by: Galadrie1 ]
