Why is everybody pronouncing this word as "assoSHEEates" now?

I say whichever strikes my fancy. Us Okies are allowed to do that, since we can barely speak anyway :wink:

.... um, what are you trying to say? I know what it looks like you're trying to say, but I don't think you can say that on this forum. :wink:

I'll admit, I had to look at it for a little while before I understood what was being asked.

My first thought kinda went along the :embarrassed: category.

You know...I am struck by the knowledge that I have no idea how I would pronounce that in British. I keep thinking "***-o-shi'at-es" but maybe ***-o-sea-ates"...difficult. And oh so hilarious to write out.

I wonder if I could post an article about donkey hybreds on this website...

"The wild *** may mean the wild donkey, or it may mean its wild relative the onager, also known as a "half ***" -another animal of the horse genus..." Nope, I guess not. And by the way, I am laughing my asterisx off right now as it is.

All I know is that it's supposed to be pronounced "assoSEEates", not "assoSHEEates".
