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 · 8 months ago

Аннигилятор I guess. Just kidding.

SacralPlexus@lemmy.world · 8 months ago

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