Default Hey Nicko- suggestion

Nicko-
I would like to make a suggestion for the site.... add pronunciations to the glossary. Some times I come across a new term at school, in a recipe or on a post, I can look up the definition, but am often unsure of the proper pronunciation (esp if it is a french or italian term). That would be helpful (although I know a lot of work). Thanks! Jayme

Thumbs up

Why not take it one step further... let's create a 'sticky' thread in one of the forums as a glossary for terms & pronunciations? A virtual lexicon, if you will! Everybody can add terms for which they are familiar and then it can be used as a guide. I'll start a thread in the Pro Chef's forum here: http://www.cheftalk.com/forums/showt...802#post155802
