"Cache" is a storage or hiding place, or what is found in such a 
place. It is a single syllable word, even if members of the US 
military doesn't seem to realize this. It is pronounced like the 
English word "cash".

"Cachet" is a special positive quality assigned to a word, a thing, 
or a person. It is a two syllable word. It is pronounced "cash-ay". 
This is clearly what you meant, unless you want to keep Jamie 
squirreled away where no one can find him :-)

Sorry. When people write that something "peaked their interest", when 
they mean "piqued", i realize how much we hear and don't read, so 
don't know how to spell.

I have been guilty, too. It was quite a while before i realized that 
the verbal, musical, or theatrical link between two different things 
was not spelled "segway" - it's actually "seque" - there should be an 
accent aigue over the final e, but we generally don't bother with 
such things in English. And i didn't realize that the written word 
"seque" was not pronounced "seeg".
