I call integers "buggers". Small ints are "little buggers" chars are "too little buggers". So, when will somebody attach an mp3/ogg so we can actually hear how you pronouce stuff? -- |

What about "Psionic"? Dictionary.com has no pronunciation (there; happy?) example for that. -- |

Thats why I love japanese. Pronounciation rules are quite strict, it's a phonetic language, and the concept of morae is interesting and helps you with your own language( at least with me). |

Sigh on for Psion. "He who controls the stuffing controls the Universe" |

So my first guess for Psionic was right ... that's an odd sounding word. -- |

I'd pronounce it psi- onic. Like Psssy-onic. -- |

I wouldn't pronounce the P, but instead I'd lengthen the S a bit. So Psionic woudn't be quite the same as Sionic. |

I use to pronounce it like that, SC. Then I realized the P was silent Do you pronounce pneumonia as "p-nuh-mone-yah""? "He who controls the stuffing controls the Universe" |

I guess SIGH-on-ick. Or just say it "sonic", like Psionic the Hedgehog.
