please phonetically spell: prima facie.  i'm fairly certain i know how to pronounce it, but my HR prof seems to be butchering it & it drives me NUTS!

Thanks!

mmm hmmm.  THAT's what I thought.  He says "pry-mah face-ie"  it is BEYOND annoying.

I have actually heard it by law professors said both ways. I pronounce it with an shee sound

SpartyGirl

both ways? really???  i've never heard it the non shee way.  just sounds weird to me.  oh well.  only 2 more classes.

I also went to law school in boston and we bostonians like to say things in our own way
