OK...I want one BADLY....but is it CREM-in-na, or Cre-MI-na?
I know how pronounce "Olympia"...I dated someone with that name...centuries ago.

Rob,

I believe there should be a "to" in between how and pronounce, Mr. IMAWriter. :wink:

Slut :lol:
Sue me...haha
Dan sort of ducked my question...
"Creh mee nah." was his answer...OK, Mr. Dan....which of your 3 syllables contains the accent?
Though of Swiss manufacture, the word appears to be of Italian origin..which, I believe would favor the pronunciation "CREH-mee-nah"
....I think. Like "Femina"...
Stefano, where are you?

They say it just like that with the accent on the second syllable.

Go to Rob's website, www.robertjason.com. There you will find that his forte is songwriting, not literary works (as if that wasn't already obvious ;-)).

I gotta say, it's neat how one can implicitly ask a trivia question before bedtime and someone on the other side of the Atlantic responds by morning with precisely the correct answer. Thanks for the confirmation.

And I appreciate a chance to comment on something I actually have a clue about. :mrgreen:

So, Rob . . . when are you changing your name to IMAlyricist? :twisted: :wink: :mrgreen:

Dan, you've cut me to the "quick, I'd better shut up".... :lol:
Seriously, thanks for the plug...Heaven knows I need all the help I can get....Nashville is now a cesspool of plumbers who think they are songwriters (I appreciate plumbers, AS PLUMBERS by the way...as long as they are reasonable) :roll:
