Daybooing

[Rosie] It's a tricky one, isn't it? It ought to be OK as a word, but I'm unhappy with all ways of pronouncing it.

verbing weirds nouns

I see what you've done there. Avoid 'debuting' at all costs. You can only 'make a debut'.

(INJ, pen) - I think I'd prefer deb-yewing with the accent on the first syllable. It'll turn up on Five Live now you've let it out of the bag.

While we're on the subject, how do people pronounce "valeting"?

deb-OO-ing

I would not say it, but if pushed, after thinking for a while: val-AY-ing or perhaps VAL-ay-ing.

Ugly.
