. . . and to head this off, the "g" in giclee is soft, a bit more than the soft English g, more of a "zh". The best part about knowing the pronunciation of the second syllable is that now you'll confidently expound on the expressionist works of Swiss-born Paul Klee, no doubt one of the favorites among members, including closet modernists.

My spell-check software doesn't know "giclee" and suggests that I meant to type "girlie". It may be on to something. That's why I don't go to those mediums with the Ouija boards and Tarot cards. I have enough trouble with mindreaders at home.
