Speech & Pronunciation

Dorling Kindersley

Hi

How do you say 'Dorling Kindersley'? I think 'Dorling' is said as 'door-ling' and 'Kindersley' as 'kin-dur-z-lee'. Please let me know what you think. Thank you.

Regards

Jackson

Everyone is master of the pronunciation of his or her own name. However, I would pronounce it as you suggest (with stresses on DOR and KIN, I presume).

Thank you, Mr Micawber. And if you have time then please also give a look to this thread. I understand that M-W should be asked the question but I have failed to find to any way to contact them.

Sorry, but I'm done with that thread, Jackson. Maybe someone else will pick up the discussion.

In AmE, I would rather use [ s ] instead of [ z ] before [ l ]. Cf. Wesley, Lesley, Chrysler, etc, in AmE.

Hi Doc.

I didn't know you people say 'chriss-ler' instead of 'chryz-ler'. Thanks for letting me know this. But I'm still happy with the 'z' version.
