Correct pronunciation of "Genii" in Genii Capital?

[forty-two]

It's as you say forty-two. pronounced 'jeenee aay', it is the plural of genius.

Thank you Tumbarello, I appeciate your input on this one.

The originators of the team's name might not have wanted it to be pronounced that, but they are missing a trick if not.

The plural of Genius is actually a great name. Jen-eye is not! IMO

Gen-Eye

'Gen' as in generation with the 'ii' pronounced eye is how i say it.

However i do believe Lopez wants it to be said Gen-two as the ii is supposed to be a 2 bizarrely.

Ah, the roman numeral way. That too makes more sense than Jen-eye. As in the second generation? I still prefer "more than one genius" as a concept though.

'jeenee aay'

Booyakasha!

Do you refer to the capital of France as "Parris" or "Paree"?

Gay Paree, usually.

But we do have a city called St. Louis, which we mispronounce. But we think that's Spain's fault.

We like the French - after all, we bought most of our country from them and that's worked out well so far. It came with a warranty. And they taught us how to hold a fork, how to cook, and gave us Mardi Gras. The republicans like to moan about them, but I suspect those guys are all descended from Tories.

How on earth did I forget about the "World Series", a Baseball tournament (a game invented and first played in England) which the USA have won every year, which is amazing in a world event.

Well, we play Canada. And Occupied Canada.

A "world" series that is a closed competition between all but 1 US team :D.

Anyhoo: You both spell knife with a K...

Perhaps we should all just revert to grunting at eachother, that's how we really started :p.

Don't get me started on the Tories.... Especially working class Tory voters. That's for another day!

I don't believe if you were asked "what is the capital of France" a quiz question you actually say anything but Paris (pronounced Par-iss) though, I think you might be fibbing a little bit there.

But it's been fun bantering with you. I still think that the plural of genius is a better name though!

Of course, you can't expect either a brit or a new worlder to pronounce correctly even words they've created themselves. Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dumber.

when I next need to fly through the aero, I will be sure to use one of your British aeroplanes. Do you make them?

tsk..... Aeroplane is derived from French - http://www.thefreedictionary.com/aeroplane

Do enjoy your next flight on an Airbus.

ps... a hovercraft is an "aéroglisseur" in French, but they call an aeroplane "avion", which leads to the english word "aviation". What a lovely jumble, it makes life interesting.
