I remember my prof drilling that ME pronunciation…oral exams for pronunciation, even! And I loved every bit of it (as a French minor, I had a bit of an advantage, I guess). Still, what a nerd. I’ve got to see if I can dig out those Chaucer fridge magnets for you!

It was the *one* thing that Mrs. Corpening did as a teacher that I loved. Sadly, I can’t recite it now but as soon as I saw those first words on your post, the sound and the feel of them on my tongue came rushing back. Ignore the cries of despair from your students, I’m thrilled that at the very least they will hear such exquisite and lyrical words…
