pronunciation - New Rules
Josh Young (Mon, 26 Jul 2010 18:35:37 PDT)

You know, for a while I was embarrassed to talk plants aloud in fear that I
would pronounce things incorrectly, I would mumble amongst myself hoping no one
would hear me!  Then I realized that the enjoyment I had for plants wasn't any
less because I couldn't say this correctly or I was worried someone would wonder
what I was talking about!  The only way we can learn is from others, as long as
I can get my idea across and someone has the slightest clue as to what I'm
talking about I feel like I've got things covered :)

With Aplogies to both Bill Maher and John MacGregor:

New Rules for pronouncing Latin or any foreign words

1. Be the first person to say it. Even if wrong this gives you
Priority. Others will follow

2. Speak LOUDLY.        Make sure everyone hears you.

3. Speak with Conviction. Do not hesitate or stumble.

In most cases people will adapt and those who object will look like
whiners.

Of course it helps if you do pronounce all the letters and in the
correct order. It is hard to accommodate an alternate pronunciation that
does not complete the basics of the English language.

And don't hold me to any of this.              Best
