7.0 Pronunciation guide

Top of this document | Master Table of contents

This is by no means complete nor authoritative. This list was taken from a discussion on the ATM list in the September 1996 timeframe.

	Name		Suggested pronunciation
	Camichel		ka-mee-SHELL
	Couder		coo-day
	Cretien		cree-shen
	Foucault		foo-COH
	Fresnel		FREH-nell
	Millies-Lacroix		MEEL-lee-ace La-crwah
	Ronchi		RONG-kee

Just remember, as one message on the ATM list said

"Turning slightly serious for a minute, I think it is an indictment of our attitudes when people are put off using a word for fear of embarrassment resulting from mispronunciation. I'd rather be shown the Ron-chee test by someone who knows how to use and interpret it than be shown the Ron-kee test by someone who doesn't."
