Glad to have this 'cleared up'  I've always ended up pronouncing it the way it looks, but I've heard enough people say otherwise (even breeders) that it's confusing.

I guess the "real" answer is how they pronounce it in Florida. Maybe Mark (Crimsonking) will fill us in.
I say Oh-Key-Tea and Call-You-Brid...

Well, while we're on this subject, I've plucked up courage to ask...
How do you pronounce 'cloaca'???
I'm embarrassed to ever say it, because I feel really, really stupid!
Help?
Brig.
