[Ads-l] RES: cache - cachet confusible

[W Brewer]

<fort, forte> [fort ~ FOUR-tay ~ four-TAY];  <cache> [cash, cash-SHAY]:

<caffè latte> ₤[kaf 'fɛl 'latte]. Wikip says £,$/'lɑ:teɪ/ or /'læteɪ/. WB
recalls hearing $[lɑ'tei].
The pronunciation $[lɑ'tei] I would call a hypergallicism, since it seems
to an attempt to elegantify the expression with a French-like accent, which
sounds most like an English penult stress.
