Visitors ask...How do you pronounce "Notre Dame?"

I think I need to start a new blog! These things are popping up left and right now. I presume the individual was not asking about the University in South Bend, IN which we all "Cheer, cheer for old..." . That has been americanized to "Noter Dame" where the "a" in Dame is a long and hard "a". Some do pronounce the "Notre" as "Nut-rah" realizing its French roots. Here is the pronounciation as given by someone knowledgeable in French. In France, the Cathedral is pronounced as follows: There are plenty of examples where a mispronunciation of a foreign word or phrase has become standard - Notre Dame, for instance. French speakers would pronounce it “no-truh dahm” , but in this country it is and always will be “noh-ter daym” . No doubt the ears of Francophones are offended every time those words are uttered, but it’s become a fixture. Found it here ... Been there too... Amazing!
