Lynne spake thusly:

i've heard target stores pronounced frenchly (tarzhay') in a couple of

states, though i can't remember which ones (illinois was one, but i

remember thinking it was a local, university-student thing til i

heard someone somewhere else say it). undoubtedly, the french

pronunciation indicates that it's a really classy place to shop.



I've heard Target pronounced "frenchly"

(to borrow your useful adverb) in Illinois

and Minnesota for a couple of years.

It can either be plain ol' "Target"

or "The Target Boutique."
