Dear All,
I had my favorite paleobotanist exclaim: I don't care how you pronounce
it, tomatoe or tomatow as long as you know what you are talking about...
  We were discussing parenchima, and zylom and phloem. My personal
favorite is chalcedony pronounced "cal-ced-knee".
Ahpalled at opal pronounced "oh-pull", as apposed to Opal, which is
O-pal, a small town west of here.
