<!> Dear all,
<!>
<!> Can anyone tell me for certain how the word GANGUE should be pronounced?
<!> I've seen it written down and used it myself when writing for many years
<!> but I don't think I've ever heard it spoken by someone who would know
<!> for sure - ie a miner. I've heard others pronounce it 'gangoo',
<!> 'ganje' and just 'gang' but which is correct?
Phil,
I always use "gang", but that doesn't make it right, now does it? I learned
my geology in Germany, where it is pronounced thus.
Regards
