...he looked so much smaller than on TV. That's okay. You know what they say - for every deficient area one has, God compensates for in other areas.

Ahhhhh!!!!! Yes, I have never heard the word plaiting before. I thought it was some fancy name they use for glue for extensions or something. LOL Is it a regional type word? Like 'pop' vs. 'soda'??

In Paris's mug shot she just looks so smug. IMHO, that shot was planned as you know she is going to write her journal (while imprisioned) then publish a book, with a flattering mug shot on the cover.

I think plait might be a word with regional usage. I would never think to use it in a sentence, even though I know what it means. I would only ever say braid. Mocha, do you pronounce it plate? or plat?

I am also familiar with the word plait, plaiting, plaited. It's pronounced like a dinner plate. It's a pretty word, slightly old-fashioned and means braid, braiding, braided (hair).

Braid. Plait is something you put food on and plat is a piece of land.

BTW, if you click here, http://www.answers.com/plait&r=67 and then click on the SOUND ICON, you can HEAR the sound of the correct pronounciation... and it is... drumroll please: PLATE as in dinner plate.

Okay. I figure they are making allowances for regional differences. BUT the primary pronounciation is obviously the one that they use in the SOUND BUTTON example.

My grandmother always used "plait" (said: "plat"). I always used "braid". And my answer is Mark Walberg.

Frankly, I doubt it's regional because I know for a fact that three of us that pronounce it plat are from different regions.
