I just now checked on the threads I'd posted in, to see what was happening, and I must say this one is, well, almost funny.

*Some* people are taking this *way* too seriously. Reminds me of a debate I once witnessed between two linguists over split infinitives. It was interesting, but you'd think they were arguing about which one got to live.

Pronounce it however the hell you want. If you're talking to someone and they know what you're talking about regardless of the pronunciation, your use of language has served its purpose. Sheesh.

Oh, and while I'm here, you're all heathens. It's pronounced "Throat-warbler Mangrove."
