How Do You Pronounce Omicron?

[wolf63]

What other way could it be pronounced?







Live Long and Prosper!

but they're pronouncing it two ways, ommicron and ohmicron.

And what is it in Klingon?

[wolf63]

Jno
It all sounded the same to me!
I can't find out what it is in Klingon. No matter what it is it will sound like an insult.

If TV is anything to go by the answer is "anyway you like"
On C5 news last night it was still "omnicrom"

[albaqwerty]

jno, according to the universal translator it is 'oSrIq

no idea of the pronunciation tho

[jno]

wasn't 'oSrIq the one Hamlet fought a duel with?

[albaqwerty]

Thanks, Wolfie. I'd wondered where the BBC learned how to pronounce 'omicron' from ;-)

(I've also discovered that I've been pronouncing it incorrectly all my life. ('Oh my cron'). As mathematicians probably make more use of the Greek alphabet than most other people do, that's a bit of an embarrassment for me!)
