I would have pronounced satiety to relate to satiated as well. It makes sense. But then, this is English, which doesn't even make sense to the natives.
Tara: That was funny if you've studied Taglarin mystic rites and... are a total dork... Riley: Then how come Xander didn't laugh?

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Thank you. I am validated.

Yeah, and I think I had a third pronunciation for it: suh-SHI-i-tee. Interesting that.

SAY-she-ate-tee.
It's starting not to sound like a word anymore.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
More than one pronunciation of 'ancient' wigs me as well. Feels so wrong.

At least you're validating the "sh" sound.
What other pronunciations are there for "ancient"? AYN-chint.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
But no, it's suh-TAY-i-tee. Which I think is dumb-sounding. But whatever.
I literally learned the correct pronunciation from the Simpsons. No, really. Homer ordered a subliminal weight-loss tape, but they sent him an increase-your-vocabulary tape instead. And one of the words he used was "satiety."
Thanks, Simpsons!

I think I would probably avoid satiety in favor of changing my sentence around to not pronounce it! Then again, I have to fudge the pronunciation of lots of medical words--sometimes no one really knows how these drugs are supposed to be pronounced anyway!
