MalEcoLes ParTecUles
Can someone help me out and tell me how they would be pronounced?
I think I got par-teh-cleese.
Moe-leck-you-leese?
What you wrote looks right to me.
Mol-eh-cue-lees
Par-tik-lees
Testicules or Testiklees?
Testicles doesn’t have a U in it, so the second one.
Moe-leh-cleese, to make it more like Hercules = Heracles in Greek.

This reminded me I play an online game with a guy who signs in as Testicles, the Greek philosopher.
Ah yes, I for one live by the Testiclecratic Oath.
Just like tentacles and obstacles!
I can no longer read tentacles without thinking “Don’t buy a boat.”
I would also like entomologists to pronounce the insect orders properly. That ‘p’? It belongs to the ‘-ter’. It’s ‘pter’, for wing. As in ‘coleo-ptera’, the ‘shield wing’, not ‘col-e-OP-tera’. Or ‘neuro-ptera’, the ‘lace-wing’, not ‘neur-OP-tera’.
We actually put the accent on a syllable THAT DOESN’T FUCKING EXIST in the Greek.
Fucking nonsense.
I learned from ESLs. Sue me.
Brain has been patched. I can’t undo this now.
Lemme ruin ‘testicles’ for ya too.
One man’s ruin is another man’s treasure
Poseidon’s naughty child, Barnacles.
I find this hilarious
Where do I sign?
Particle man particle man
when he’s underwater does he get wet? or does the water get him, instead?
Nobody knows
It took this post and recent bio classes to realize that this line refers to the hydrophilic nature of water molecules, so the reason it is a question if he gets wet underwater, is because a water molecule can’t get wet, as it’s water, and even if he isn’t a water molecule, they’re attracted to all particles including other water molecules, so the water would definitely get him.
Does whatever a particle can!
I petition that henceforth all words be pronounced in the spirit of Greek heroes

Meet those headlines [with all the flair that they give science journalism]
I can’t see my own post!
Struck down by the gods.
It’s a ghost!
Me neither
I can see it just fine, it says . . .
Also Thermo-meter rather than ther-mom-eter would be good
One instance where the german pronounciation actually makes sense
Reminds me of the fact that Helicopter is a compound noun of helico (spiral) and pter (wing).
So you’re saying it’s pronounced helicopter, and not helicopter?
And it’s also spelled accordingly!
I love me some Buffalo chicken pters.
This really should be on change.org.
Yup, just as any other useless petition that does nothing lol
