Pronounciation

[enigma200316]

well maybe I'm grammaticly incorrect, but I say it with the hard A as well.... (Rad-ix)

lol speaking of that could someone post a list of pronunciations for all the garter sp. common in the trade, cuz i know a lot of names but idk how to say them

There's no point in learning how to pronounce the names correctly. Nobody else does. It's supposed to follow the rules of the latin language and last time I looked, there were no native speakers. Not only that, there have been half a dozen latins with slightly different rules during the last two thousand years. Nevertheless, my first argument is the one I think is the strongest; Nobody else pronounces latin correctly. Just pronounce them in a way that's easy to understand.

ps. the A-sound in radix should probably be the same as in "arse". The origin of the name doesn't matter, it's supposed to be pronounced "in latin".

The way the character 'Jed Thomas' pronounces it on The Fast Show.

that's the British Latin pronunciation
the American Latin would be like the 'a' in radio

I'm with Rhea here. The soft "a" makes the pronounciation sound American.
I suffered a year of Latin lessons (as that was when I went to school in Germany, would that make it German Latin or just Latin Latin? ) and the hard "a" would be correct.

I say we should all agree to disagree. XD

I say we rename it to Bob that way there can be no arguements...
I have an aneryststic...eurtherystic...no ....a blue and black thingy type of bob.

I do know that the hard 'a' is the correct (having grown up in germany)
and nobody's mentioned it yet
but there's always the compromise - the 'a' as in radish
