Consider the following
Saxophone - Persephone
A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
Consider the following
Saxophone - Persephone
Sax-oh-fo-nay
Huh, the way I say Persephone (per-seh-fuh-knee), Saxophone would be pronounced sax-aw-fuh-knee or maybe sax-oh-phony (the way I say saxophone normally in my accent is sacks-uh-phone)
Yeah, "ay" at the end is closer to the original Greek than the "ee" way we say it in English.

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.
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.
My partner recently bought me a stuffed cat that has giant balls. It's hilarious, long story. Anyway I've named him Bophades.
Bophades
I'm familiar with the legend, yes.
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.
Helico-pter
Just like tentacles and obstacles!
And testicles!
The mighty Testacles, completely immune to any type of scrotal discomfort (like a true manwhore).
Archenemy, Patella the mighty.
Brain has been patched. I can't undo this now.
Poseidon's naughty child, Barnacles.
I petition that henceforth all words be pronounced in the spirit of Greek heroes
All hail the great Johncles
Particle man particle man
when he's underwater does he get wet? or does the water get him, instead?
Nobody knows
I find this hilarious
Where do I sign?
I can't see my own post!
Also Thermo-meter rather than ther-mom-eter would be good
Bi-cycle instead of bi-sickle or motor-sickle instead of motor-cycle
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).
Romanian intensificare
I will never not pronounce them that way now that I have seen this.
This really should be on change.org.
Yup, just as any other useless petition that does nothing lol
