@SurferWifewrote:Oh, good grief.
I agree with you. It is QVC job to correct her, if she needs it.

The french can keep their pots and their pronunciation as far
as I am concerned .....

Saying La instead of Le changes it from a masculine article to a feminine. (La and Le are simply the article "the")
I also don't like when I hear "Le" pronounced LAY.
I can't remember the the linguistic and pronunciation letter combinations to show the pronunciation - it does rhyme with the French word "je"!
Right now, I can't think of an English word that replicates the sound. A lot of people seem to have trouble pronouncing "le"
and, I remember in French class, a lot of students had to practice it. (Ecoutez et repetez - listen and repeat!)

@lizziefwrote:Hey Mary Beth, David Venable finally got it right, please do as well! You’ve been a Q host for enough years, and supposedly use the product, please give the vendor the courtesy of pronouncing the name correctly- just sayin’. 😁

Hmmmm..one made a mistake in error, the other willfully committed a breach of
manners on purpose.
It shouldn't be necessary to correct a show host. This is their job, she isn't your neighbor talking over the back fence. Good Grief.
You’re right. It is not necessary. Who the heck cares anyway? It’s a cooking vessel, not someone name. Why take offense over something so stupid?

According to the posting above MaryBeth is pronouncing it correctly.

You can find more than one way to skin this cat as the "proper" way to pronounce LE. When I listen to French often it sounds like someone has a mouthful of marbles in any case or the last few letters of a word simply aren't there. I find it a language that is very difficult to hear and understand. I don't have that problem with German or Spanish.
So I will cut anyone a little slack when it comes to pronouncing some French words--this one included.

Yes, I'm so sorry, it is stupid , what was I thinking defending being correct ? Golly I'm so embarrassed. 🤔

EXACTLY! If you are going to be paid lots of money to sell an item, learn how to pronounce it correctly....geez. It's not a new item....and how about the producers providing feedback so the hosts can get it right. Do your homework!

Regardless of what the correct pronunciation of LC is, it's OVERRATED and OVERPRICED.
