Lol... Glad to know that. You don't have to apologize, sweetie. I wasn't offended at all. Was just asking for confirmation, you know, sometimes you might not realise your mistakes till people point it out. And I would really appreciate it if anyone do. That's how we can improve ourselves!NO NO No...what I meant was since I was new *I* might sound bossy seeing that I don't know how this forum works, don't know anyone, etc. Kind of like I've only been here a day and already I'm suggesting ways to improve. Knowing that someone with over 800 posts and a veteran to the forum (you) thought the same thing confirmed that it really would be a useful thing. I'm so sorry for the misunderstanding. I never meant to imply you were being bossy!!! I'm sorry!!
Glad to know. Thanks for the reassurance.You did not sound bossy at all I LOVE LV, but I don't think divabeadz meant to imply that.
:shame:I think you both have a great idea! It would really be helpful for all us newbies esp when going to the boutique. I feel foolish sometimes, but then I realize some of the newer SAs don't know how to pronounce the names properly either.
Thanks to you both for suggesting this....
Did exactly the same thing in the store a few weeks ago :shame: luckily sa was really nice and very discreet in his correction!!!i remember talkin about a damier broadway to a SA on the phone and i pronounced it DAY-MEE-UR she kindly corected me, i was embarassed lol.
Could we run through many of the styles and post how to pronounce each name. For example, I've got no clue as to whether batignolles is pronounced like it's spelled or not. I'd hate to sound like moron by mispronouncing the name when I'm trying to place an order or something...lol!
Other examples: drouot, trotteur, boulogne, pochette accessories, saumur, saleya, malsherbes...I'm sure there are other styles that are confusing too -- if we could do a rundown on some of the proper pronunciations I think that would be so helpful for newbies like me.
