When I was working at a frame shop in Georgia, we called them "fill'-ets".
Of course, we had a road near-by named "Ponce de Leon" that came out as "ponce duh-lee'-on"...
And I know there's people out there that call them "fill-lays'".
I see that Picture Framing Magazine had an article titled "Elusive History of Frame Fillets" that appeared back in November of 99, but I can't seem to find a copy laying around anywhere. I can't find jack on Google either (though Mike@GTP's site comes up ninth when I search for "picture framing fillet history").
There's also an old Grumble thread here but no one answered the question...
So which pronounciation do you use? Do you pronounce it differently depending on who you're talking to? Do you care?
