sometimes no one really knows how these drugs are supposed to be pronounced anyway!
Fluoroquinolone! t edit P-C once wrote me a haiku with the word "fluoroquinolone" when I contributed to his 826 Valencia spelling bee. It was a good haiku.
Dawn: I think a date should be in a real fancy restaurant, then champagne at a night club with a floor show, then ballroom dancing. Joyce: Unfortunately, we're not dating in a movie from the thirties.

[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.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
What other pronunciations are there for "ancient"? AYN-chint.
Ank, like ankle, shent.
There were times, basically whenever he said it, that I thought it might be a legitimate reason to break up with my ex. But then I heard it elsewhere.

Tim pronounces "known" as 2 definite syllables: "know-uhn." It still throws me every time. And sometimes I catch myself doing it.

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb
And don't the Brits say AYN-see-ent? Don't know if that counts, though, there's a lot of differences between USian English and British English.

According to Dictionary.com and the MacMillan Contemporary Dictionary on my desk, your ex (and whoever else) are wrong. You're right. Ank? You're SOOOO right.

Compassionately intolerant
Ank, like ankle, shent.
Whuh?
I've never heard anyone say it that way. Not even in ain-she-ent times.
AYN-see-ent?
Heh. My people are from the Isles. Problee where I got it.

This I could let pass. I speak some Spanish, so I can see this pronunciation making sense. But "K"? Nope, Cass is right, he was wrong. Nuh-uh.

Always Anti-fascist!
Askye, that's cool. There are so many words like that, that I know from books but don't know how to say. I usually just wait for Keith Olbermann to say them, though since he's back in sports, even he doesn't he doesn't bust out $18 ones quite so much...$16.50 maybe.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I like it when the online dictionary gives me a pronunciation too.
