Re: How do you pronounce 'orche'?

DABurb sayeth, ""Squash baby poop yellow"..btw, Shrek was an Ogre and green like okra and doesn't look anything at all like 71-72 GM OCHRE."



True, true indeed but I caution! Speak with care less you lose your tongue when you speaketh of my Ochre Friend Shrek AND mention poop in the same vein!

Re: How do you pronounce 'orche'?

I cant believe that I just read 104 posts on the pronounciation of "ochre". I laughed out loud several times and thought of the original post that mentioned "or-shee" as a way to pronounce it. Maybe we should call it "or-SHEET".
