I say concours.
Anyone that calls it a concour is an idiot and wears an ascot and has a silk hanky folded into a triangle in their chest pocket...
Better yet, just call it a ZG.
I studied German for a few years and lived there for a short while. I like their system. You pronounce all the letters in the word. If you don't use them, why are they on there? Good old German efficiency. So I say it with the s, but mostly call it a Connie.
My unscientific survey shows that the following words are more often than not mispronounced:
- Realtor, most often pronounced as Real-a-tor (I have never understood where folks get that extra syllable).
- Moot, most often mispronouned as Mute, rhyming with butte.
Or maybe this is just a southern thing? In any event, I call my bike a C14. It's easier to say and to type.
How far south does a thing have to be to be called a southern thing?
Is that you southerners who somehow put an R in the word wash?

Moo point. Like it is a cow's opinion and does not mean anything....
Sooner or later someone has to mention "One felt swoop...."

And if there is more than one...? Concourses...Concoursi?Les ConCOUGGRR , I guess.
And never forget, the "e" in 'douche' is silent.
