Pronunciation and useage of scientific names

[paperdragon]

...and this is why I type, rather than speak. X_x

Seconded.

I call them brigs by habit anyways...

but I'm still confused on the classification as well. I'd like to see some sort of specific journal evidence for which ever side is correct.

I just call them snails
I am sticking with bridgesii as well, lol
I kid, I say po-may-shea, ay-so-leen spixee, nee-rite, clith-on coronah *disclaimer* i say lots of words wrong, but that is how they sound good to me.

I guess all this discussion is just out of curiosity unless I start learning some hardcore Latin. Even then, like OgreMkV said, most names are apparently pronounced however the creator wanted, so let the mangling of Latin begin

One more thing, how about Endlicheri bichir? I'm not gonna even try that one but I'm still curious!

I think its "end-lih-chair-ee biker"

dang that means I lost a bet haha

Just wondering, do you have any documentation on these classifications?

careful h3d, don't wanna be too specific, now! lol

Eh, I too was hoping for something more conclusive. You can't always trust forums...

I see both names used extensively in both research and info sites...
