Philippe Lhoste: > So, Neil pronounces skintilla?
No, I'm inconsistent here and don't pronounce the "c" as "scintilla" is reasonably common English. Its often used in phrases similar to "scintilla of evidence" used when arguing such as "but you haven't produced one scintilla of evidence that global warming is caused by multi-coloured clothing". This means searching for "scintilla" returns lots of very boring arguments. Jan Hendrik: > ... and I always had Scylla and Charybdis on my mind! One of the contributions to using the name "Scintilla" was that I grew up on Scylla Road (pronounced "silla" by us but according to a friend who was into classic literature more accurately pronounced "scalar") near Scylla Bay. http://www.ausinspect.com.au/como.htm Neil _______________________________________________ Scite-interest mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.lyra.org/mailman/listinfo/scite-interest
