Every day as I drive to work, I pass a high-end stereo shop. They have a large sign hanging from their storefront with the name of the shop and a reader board, with that marquee* lettering I�ve always dug so much. Last week I noticed that the reader board said something to the effect that they had Dali loudspeakers in stock.
Dali loudspeakers? Are they melted over a tree branch? Or are they shaped like Gala? Do ants emerge when you turn them on? I was intrigued by the possibilities, and have been so since I saw the sign.
Then I did a little googling. As always, the truth turns out to be much less interesting than my imagination. I�m sure it�s a fine product, but�
*This seems like as good a time as any to give y�all some comparative pronunciation:
marquee = marKEY
bmarkey = bee MARkey
