Pronounciation

Hej!

To me as a non-native-english it is sometimes difficult to understand what
english speaking people are talking about, when they are trying to
pronounciate scientific names. Even if I know what organism that is
discussed I need to really listen and translate the name to something more
understandable. For example people always add a lot of unnecessary vowels
instead of just reading the word straight on. An example Rosaceae
("ro-SAY-see-ee") instead of ro-sa-se. It is often easier with german or
spanish "pronounciation". But relax, americans are far worse than
australians........
