<p>141.101.102.216: Pronounciation-related question</p> <hr /> <div>What a waste of good poison, the food at conferences usually does that on it's own anyways.

Thanks for your hint, explanation is updated.--[[User:Dgbrt|Dgbrt]] ([[User talk:Dgbrt|talk]]) 19:41, 24 October 2013 (UTC)<br /> ::&quot;Hors d'oeuvres&quot; is English; ''&quot;hors d'œuvre&quot;'' (with a ligature and without the trailing ''s'') is French.

Do you really pronounce it with the &quot;r&quot; sound before the &quot;v&quot; sound? Why would you do that?
