I've seen it both ways. The vendor I purchase rings from uses "maille" so that is what ends up coming out when I type it.
You know, it's funny. We went to war never looking to come back, but it's the real world I couldn't survive.

Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
If it's fancy, it should be called chainmaille.
Am I weird? I won't be offended, I really want to know.

I've seen "chainmaille" a lot, but I was always too intimidated to ask, because I thought there was an obvious reason that I was missing.

If it helps the conversation, the pieces I'm working on aren't classic chainmail related. They are pretties.

There is what I was told a Japanese style of chain mail that is larger links joined at right angles with small lengths of fine chain. It's very pretty. Hubby taught me how to make it. I should see if the arthritis in my hands will let me take it up again. He loved making chain mail.

A friend who worked at an armor museum said you should never use the word chain before mail. I'm not sure how he said mail.

I must say, the chainmail discussion is much more courteous than the muffaletta debates.

I was reading a review for a cookbook the other day that said that there were too many recipes with cilantro, and I thought of us.

Awww, yes! I hope she was entranced by it.
