I'm not entirely sure how to pronounce sphygmomanometer but I need to say it in a presentation in a couple of days.

Can someone please write it phonetically for me as I don't have much of an idea at the moment.

Molly thanked the people who solved her problem at 12.39.
Now does she have to continually thank everyone from then on in?
I would have thought one would have been enough but its Molly -tell ya it wouldnt be me bypassing patronising posts on my thread.
Good Luck with your presentation Molly -I wouldnt have even known how to pronounce that and even after the superb advice you have had im still strugglng -think I may have mastered it now -just have to google now to see what ive mastered :)

Dris i did only thank people once but then I was told they were all wrong. I think I can say that squad . . . .thanks
Hey, best of luck with your presentation, molls. x
lol yes, she must thank every person individually, plus send them a christmas card :)
She does well does our Moll and I for one would miss seeing you on here.You brighten very dull days for me and i mean that :)
I would go with

sfig - mo - man - om - iter

A manometer is a general term for a pressure measuring device for fluids. The 'sphygmo' bit at the front is from Latin Sphygmus - the pulse.

Chambers also gives alternative name of sphygmometer.
