Quote:
My German-speaking Austrian friends pronounce the 'ei' as a very short 'Iyi' - Leye-ica ... In most German words was once deemed correct to (at least attempt to) pronounce every letter ... Invariably easier said than done: such 'old' standards are fast disappearing and can now sound rather quaint. .T.
I was carrying my M6 round my neck on a trip to the Black Forest last October and a German said something to me about the camera. I think that's how he pronounced it - we certainly struggled to communicate but in the end I gathered he had owned an M3 since new and wanted my opion on the M6.
