How do you pronounce.......?

[PaulPerger]

You like bugs huh?

Study of bugs is ENTOMOLOGY. Study of language is indeed "etymology".

 

[Jeight]

Me too! I took a course in Latin once. Probably the only course that interested me in all my studies. I also teach IPA... but I hate it. I always need to brush up on it.

You are an IPA teacher and I am an IPA drinker...glad to make your aquaintance

[EmptyWallet]

[Cully]

Key-toe

What is the word for the study of sarcasm?
Bugs...lol. Hook, line, sinker.

 

[FO_Reef]

That would be entomology.
Etymology = study of language.
Entomology = study of insect biology.

Edit- Seems the joke went over my head.

 

[Fugs]

Key-toe-more-fah is the correct pronunciation. Not even a debate.

 

[Mastiffsrule]

I can’t help with all the fancy words being used.

I simply say some of that spaghetti algae or some of those little green fish cover in uronema

 

[Fin]

And how about Acropora :-)

Own a pet store as I did and you’ll hear it all!! The three that jumps at me from memory are:
Cichlids (sick-lids). Customers always said: (chill-ids)
Gourami (gore-a-mee). Customers: (gum-ora)
Anemone (a-nem-money) customers:(amen-ity)

Funny because I introduced my friend to cichlids a long time ago as I used to keep. I told him “sick-lids” and he still calls the “chick-lids”

 

[ScottR]

And how about Acropora :)

Both pronunciations are different. The first one is how I’ve always heard it.

You call them whatever you want. As long as people know what you’re talking about. ;Hilarious If you wanna call spaghetti “busketti”, go for it.

Not reef related but I want to know how to actually pronounce Porsche lol. It’s always bothered me. I don’t say the uh part at the end, sounds fruity.

Lol. I say “porsh” but when people wanna be snooty, they say porsh-uh. It feels unnatural to me. But I know it’s a German word. But, eh
