9) same, though knowing some french doesn't help me in how I want to pronounce it: Bu-LAY
Of course, then, you pronounce slow, row, tow, etc. all the same? Because they all have W's, too. My opinion is that pronouncing them like cow is simply degrading.

You must get some funny looks, then, when you talk about thieves.I've always said Tiefling Tief (tie-f) ling ;when two vowels follow each other, you pronounce the first one...
