orchid pronounciation
Default orchid pronounciation

so this is about orchid pronounciation and what I have heard on youtube I didn't like.

I am sure I am wrong about this but I hate some of the pronouniations I have heard.

Like aluminum should be pronounced aluminium.

a potatoe is a potatoe not a potato

Algae is algee not al-jee.

But this continues into the orchid world like the phalaenopsis Tetraspis for example. I have heard people pronounce it like Tetrass-pis pronouncing it similar to how a tresspasser would be pronounced whereas I much more like to think of it as a Tetra-spiss.

The same with lots of Cattleya names. The worst offender I hate hearing is a Jenmaniayayayayayaiaia

I pronounce it Jen -manny

no ai ai ai at the end.

It's probably the same with some many others, a forbesii should be a forbesy not a forbesiay

The same can be said about the dendrobium bigibbum. When I first heard I I thought it was pronounced biggi-bum but it is pronounced like a bi-colour
it is a bi-gibbum

I'm probably wrong about the pronounciation of the cattleya's and they are prounced like someone just stepped on your toes ay ay ay but I don't like it lol.

how would people pronounce the laelia lundii?
Would you pronounce it laelia lundiay?
