Actually, I was going to mention Lethal Weapon. It totally shot back to the scene where the Asian guy keeps calling Mell Gibson a "PLICK!"

I pronounce it 'Krah-tom', feels alot more 'proper'? Hehe.

It's like Brugmansia is pronounced 'Broog-marn-see-uh' (& don't forget to roll the tongue on the 'r' like it's an 'L') more emphasis on the vowels, but that is latin for you.

I would, however, like to know if Psilocybe is pronounced 'Sillo sibe' or (as Ott & others have pronounced it) 'Silloseebee' ?

The right pronuntiation, of latin would be Pseeloseebe.

In latin the i has the sound of EE as in speed for example.

Thankyou for that Felix, I always knew Ott was very with it when it came to pronunciation.

Depending on the forum, said act is only sometimes a sin and at others time, righteous.

Having not spent enough time here, I don't know if you're being sarcastic or not. But you are welcome. :smile:



And what goody said makes sense, I'll just have to get used to it.

Krah-tom, Krah-tom, Krah-tom....

I call it Kraytom myself.

From my reading though its said to be

Crew-Tum
Kruu-Tum

The word is pretty much brand new in people's vocabulary so I believe the right pronunciation is up for grabs. Personally, I feel that Kratt-Tom doesn't sound natural at all in english (in fact it makes me cringe every time I hear it), Kray-tum however does. Doesn't matter how the word is pronounced in Thailand, people don't say Pah-Ri, they say Pahriss...

I realize there are exceptions to the "natural sounding" rule, but I doubt there is any right pronunciation as of this writing. Kray-tum just sounds way better... Think about it...

"Man! I'm so effin' kraytomized right now!! :cool:  ...not "Hey guys, check it out, I'm Kratt-ohm-ized! Yippy!"  :rolleyes:

In french, Kratt-uhm sounds way better...

Anyway those were my two cents... If anybody out there finds the definitive answer, I would love to know...

Who cares how it's pronounced, just say it with confidence and it'll sound fine.

Welcome to the shroomery, but please don't bump old threads unless you have something new to add. It just moves more pressing threads to the 2nd page.
