Annihilator - i used to say annie he lator - the spelling on this word. Seriously.

Hyperbole - like 2 years ago i found out its not hyper bowl. Really?

Onyx - Onks. On icks? Only 40 years saying that word wrong.....

Ok, you have to admit Onks was just a bad guess.

How is annihilator supposed to be pronounced?

[-] uis@lemm.ee 6 points 8 months ago

Аннигилятор I guess. Just kidding.

[-] SacralPlexus@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

Relative to how OP wrote it out I would say it is usually pronounced an-EYE-ill-ate-or.

[-] Jomega@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago
