Not fair, I don't check out Movies as often and closely as other fora.At least I still get to link to <A HREF="http://www.kami.demon.co.uk/gesithas/OEsteps/pronounc.html" TARGET=_blank>my beloved Old English pronunciation site</A>. In short: é as in bade ea begins with the sound of e and glides towards the back of the mouth, giving a sound not unlike that inbared, Baird; éa is similar but beginning with the vowel é.
