someone had a question, that we've answered..I'd say this was a productive thread.

and clinking here (http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=proteus&x=0&y=0) and then clicking on the red speaker icon, will play a sound clip of someone pronouncing Proteus correctly.

My friend thinks scythe is pronounced "skythe" too. And he also thinks elite is pronounced "e-light".

To make my post legit: Its pronounced pro-tea-us

[thunderpig]

hmpsh.

Here's one I've been thinking about. WAS. As in WAS board.

How do you pronounce it?

Is it like was as in wasp? Or the same sound as faucet?

or is it was? i.e. I was going to go the movies.

or do you spell it out? W-A-S?
