New Was that a dipth-pun?
Dunno what sorta mumblers you hang out with, Scott - but NoOne I've ever heard (who's been anywhere near that Sea) would pronounce,

\ufffdgean "Eye-gee-an".. ih-gean' far more likely, as the ac-cent' is on the second syl-lab'-le in any event. Less'n you calls them Italians 'Eye-T's' too (?) or maybe 'Eye-raq' like our Presyudent n'stuff.

{s-ighh'}

New Er, that's kinda my point, Asthon.
The LATIN pronunciation of "ae" is the same as how English speakers say "sky" or "mine".

The ENGLISH pronuciation of "Aegean" is, as the dictionaries said, "ih", not "eye".

My point to you being that you can't necessarily use an English dictionary to get the Latin pronunciation of a diphthong.

New Well.. not so sure
Where is the need for *changing* (when speakin Engrish) the Actual Name-sound of a place - just for the &*%#^$# arbitrariness of that-all?

Like.. Vallejo, Santa Clara, Mexico ...

Except sloth? The Actual Name-sound is never a *wrong* sound! Haven't 'we' better things to do than to teach Bowdlerized replacements - to assure being snickered-at, by anyone who ever left Passaic?

(Say even.. one o' them I-Wrack-EEs who might visit and not recognize her own country being 'named')










Never mind. I guess I need more ed-dja-Kay'-shun, so I can run for orifice someday.

New I dont' particularly care for it either.
Just making my point.

Hell, I live about 5 miles from a place called "Lake Orion", pronounced "OR-ee-un".

Drives me nuts.
