[icecreamgirl]

Good evening, Ive got some Dicrioric glass pendants which i have put on some coloured suede thong which i really love but am wondering -
How do you pronounce it...

Just so's i don't look a fool (!)

Hi

I've always pronounced it die-cro-ic. I have been known to be wrong though (on many occasions )

[beadhead]

Meant to say that it's dichroic - sorry I'm not being a smart-ass - I had to look up the spelling on google!!

[icecreamgirl]

oh dear how can i hope to pronounce it if i can't even get the spelling right!??
another glass of wine may help.........

Di = two
Chroic = of colour, as in chroma = colour.
Just say multicoloured.................at least it's english!

[icecreamgirl]

Yeah might just do that.
It's weird the Di - two thing, the ones ive got have multiple layers and colours ?
Who makes up these names anyway ?
