Poseidon’s naughty child, Barnacles.
I can’t see my own post!
It’s a ghost!
Struck down by the gods.
Me neither
I can see it just fine, it says . . .
I petition that henceforth all words be pronounced in the spirit of Greek heroes
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.
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!
Also Thermo-meter rather than ther-mom-eter would be good
One instance where the german pronounciation actually makes sense
Just like tentacles and obstacles!
I can no longer read tentacles without thinking “Don’t buy a boat.”
Consider the following
Saxophone - Persephone
Michael Bublé - Google
Canoes - Volcanoes
This one is cursed
Sax-oh-fo-nay
MalEcoLes ParTecUles
I find this hilarious
Where do I sign?
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
Can someone help me out and tell me how they would be pronounced?
I think I got par-teh-cleese.
Moe-leck-you-leese?
Mol-eh-cue-lees
Par-tik-lees
Testicules or Testiklees?
Testicles doesn’t have a U in it, so the second one.
What you wrote looks right to me.

Moe-leh-cleese, to make it more like Hercules = Heracles in Greek.

Meet those headlines [with all the flair that they give science journalism]
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.
Got my vote
Reminds me of the fact that Helicopter is a compound noun of helico (spiral) and pter (wing).
I love me some Buffalo chicken pters.
So you’re saying it’s pronounced helicopter, and not helicopter?
And it’s also spelled accordingly!
