Er, the word in question is "Fuchsia" - how many people learn that when starting to read? :-) Ah but you had the root. In the West Country, yes, I would expect most primary school children to hear and know the word - it has become a very common and obvious hedgerow plant. But elsewhere? I wouldn't expect them to hear it unless they associate with gardeners and/or have a set text that uses the word (perhaps as a name, but it is rare). Regards, Nick Maclaren. I think we're at cross purposes. I was referring to your having learned how to pronounce 'Fuchs' correctly thus leading on to knowing about Dr Fuchs and Fuchsia. No? I think I need some aspirin! -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon www.helpforheroes.org.uk |
