French has latin pronouciations.

"au" in french in pronounced "o" and "rus" is pronouced like the rus in the english word "Uterus".

It is what it is...

Torus. Never heard either pronunciation from the OP. Some people seriously say it like "tourist" without the final t? What the fuck. Where do you get an "oo" sound from "au"?

Apparently I switch it up.
Never realized I did until someone pointed out I just said "root" and asked if I normally pronounced it that way.

I bought a 1989 Ford Taurus for 250$ and tripped acid in it twice, (I wasnt driving) therefore I can confidently tell you that it is pronounced Tore-Us

It's definitely pronounced "tar-us" by most folks in GA.  The poll asked, "How do you pronounce Ford Taurus?" so I voted tar-iss, but the correct pronunciation would be \ˈtȯr-əs\

I also say taurii a lot when I am driving my taurus and pull up next to another one. Its a group of taurii!




My Latin is rusty but I'm pretty sure you want tauri, not taurii, as the nominative plural form of taurus.  The example you provided wouldn't be nominative case, but it's sort of acceptable to use nominative case for Latin nouns in English sentences most of the time.

You're right, and I'm not exactly sure why I even put two i's. It doesn't make much sense at all now that I think about it, and think about other words that end in -us. Fungus. Fungi. Octopus. Ocotopi. I dunno, I guess my brain thought taurii looked better than tauri. :lol:

I think its kinda funny that you're picking on tour-is, yet you pronounce it tore-us. There's no O in the word at all so how are you guys getting an O sound out of taur, that has an A in it? Shouldn't it be tahr, rather than tohr or tour?
