OK, so it's ras and keetomorfa. Good to know, thanks!

It's funny, it's not an issue on the forums, where spelling is more important, but in the LFS or a trade show, it's nice to know the correct pronunciation.

What other words' pronunciation should be addressed?

I asked because to me it has been rasy for 20 years thaen I notice the person at my LFS say ras and I thought I would ask because I thought the double s made two syllables, thus rasy (wras se)

C = K in Latin.
Caesar and Cicero went to the circus = Kaizar and Kikero went to the Kirkus.
And now you also know where "Kaiser" in German and "Zar" in Russian come from.

Oh, and it is "a-ne-mo-ne" and not "an-ne-ne-mo-ne" like I hear so often.

 

[MondoBongo]

Ras, however now i'm considering only referring to them as "Sassy Wrassy"

I am TTM a Yellow/purple right now and went in the tank to move something and it jumped out - very quickly. I do cover the TTM tanks
