Technomancer is right and all, but I'm convinced that someone a long time ago needed to be in a straight-jacket. I can just imagine someone fiddling around with the language, saying "I wonder if people'll use this one!"
Ahem...

I gotta ask myself (and everyone else here)...does it really make that much difference how it's pronounced? We'll never all agree on the same thing anyhow. And Annette...don't worry about the hick thing...people who say that are just insecure.

People who write below their abilities in order to crank out tons of books and make a buck. Especially Christian authors who do that. Outsiders judge us for it, and make fun of us for it, and it makes Jesus look bad. We of all artists on earth should be the most concerned with doing our best possible work at all times. We of all people should write with all our hearts, as if writing for the Lord and not for men.

Wow, rereading my own post, I guess I could be taken as quite inconsiderate. Accept my apologies, and my correction.
I wasn't actually bashing you in any way shape or form. That was pure sarcasm. In fact, I kindof agree with you. Please don't feel bad!

*shrug* The pronunciation's no big deal, unless your're trying to speak authentic Japanese really. I mean the English language has a long tradition of borrowing from other languages, and changing the word to suit the local phonics.
(and it's pronounced left-tenent I say! left-tenent!
)
[edit: Is that a record for simultaneous posts? Inkhana's was the last one up when I started writing!

The scientific method," Thomas Henry Huxley once wrote, "is nothing but the normal working of the human mind." That is to say, when the mind is working; that is to say further, when it is engaged in corrrecting its mistakes. Taking this point of view, we may conclude that science is not physics, biology, or chemistry—is not even a "subject"—but a moral imperative drawn from a larger narrative whose purpose is to give perspective, balance, and humility to learning.
