Re: [meteorite-list] meteorite pronunciation

[MARK BOSTICK]

Sorry to get off subject slightly...   A couple months ago I was traveling through Mexico (Since I was in Tuscon anyway) and I noticed many streets where named Allende, resturants and other places used Allende as part of it name.  It made me want to steal a street sign, just kidding. That would have been a bad ideal, the border guards where curious enough about my earthmagnets....  Anyway, so I guess I was saying they have Allende named things everywhere in Mexico.  For those that do not know Allende was one of the first (I think the second) freedom fighter leaders.  You know...for Mexican Independance...   Mark Bostick "The Big Collector" ----- Original Message ----- From: Rhett Bourland Sent: Wednesday, April 03, 2002 8:00 PM To: Matson, Robert; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [meteorite-list] meteorite pronunciation   Your pronunciation of Allende is correct Robert.  I remember two things from 7th grade spanish.  One is that when there are two ll's next to each other in a word its pronounced like a "y."  The other is "Hola, me llamo es muy feo avion."  I just took the class.  I didn't say I did well in it.

My guess has been:  Si-ko'-tay Al-in'... --Rob -----Original Message----- From: Tom [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, April 03, 2002 11:10 AM To: Jay Haynes; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] meteorite pronunciation I need some help too. Maybe one of you willing to make us few lists with names and pronuncations. Maybe many of us may realize that we spoke those word incorrect way.
