food [?] (service) words

[Joel S. Berson]

3) the SEGUE BAR:

I have recently been told this is standardly pronounced "seg-way", as
in the two-wheeled motorized pogo stick.  As in "seg-ment" and
"weigh".  OED agrees, II interpret correctly.

Is there any authority for my (mis)pronunciation as "seg-you"?  I
don't participate in, or watch on TV, enough ballroom dancing to
remember hearing it spoken by anyone.

Joel
