00Roughly speaking, 01b00De02b00 as in 'dip', without the 'p'.02br
02br
01b00Vere02b00 to rhyme with 'beer'.02br

0Yes...but not the 'de' as 'di' part. He was the Earl of Oxford, so should have a British English pronunciation, no?02br
02br
00The 'de' should pronounced 'd-uh'...kind of like the 'du' in 'duck' [though more like 'd-uh' than anything].02br

00A minor thing, but hope it helps!0-
