Thread: Ovulatetron

  1. #1

    Default Ovulatetron

    How do you pronounce it? Where do you put the stress, and how many syllables does it have?

    Personally, I pronounce it "AH-view-LAY-trahn" but maybe that's just my dialect.

    I gotta agree with Quin on this one. There are clearly four syllables. Plus, you know, it's his word and all.

    Ovula-tron.

    Americans broke aluminium, so I can break this word.

    I would prefer if the word was spelled Ovulatron. It's more better. And at least when we "broke" aluminium we had the decency to remove the extra letter so that it's still spelled like it's pronounced.

    I'm confident in disregarding the linguistic opinions of one who would write "more better".

    Wha... I have never seen this word in my life. Am I supposed to have?

    If I had to guess I'd say AH-view-LAY-tron.

    Uh did you mean "Ovulation"?

    Because the only Google results for this word are this thread.

    No. Ovulatetron is like a machine that instantly makes the target ovulate.

    Oh. In that case I pronounce it "Cuchulainn."

    Signature by rubah. I think.
