Haha I used to call them ape-tay-sia until I was corrected by EmilyB who promptly made fun of me after hearing me say it

As for Tunze. I used to call it toonz but then after hearing other people call it tonne-zee I've switched. Quel faux pas!

Tunze - Tun-zee
Aiptasia - Ap-tay-jgia (jgia? sort of a hard long j. As someone said...like in Fantasia).

How 'bout this one. Chaeto. I say kay-toe. I've heard it chee-toe. Bong! Beg to differ.

Acclimatize. A-climb-a-ties. I've heard that one completely botched before to be almost unrecognizable. Good thing it was said twice, and I could confirm what I was hearing.

But it's not spelt Cheato, it's spelt Chaeto. I don't see how anyone gets chee-toe out of Chaeto.....unless they're misspelling it? . JMO.

But what about haemoglobin? Its latin. They had their own (weird) ideas about spelling and pronunciation


I say key-toe. key-toe-morfa. But I think chee-toe is also "acceptable". According to meriamwebster.com and yahoo education


I think one of my faves is zoxanthellae. I always missed the x in the middle. called them zoe-anthellay. Then one day Jamie pronounced it (correctly of course, zoe-zan-thellay). EmilyB and I sort of looked at each other and then later on had a good laugh (oohhh so thats how its pronounced!!! )

Good point, however, I still say kay-toe.
