I'm living in Yugoslavia and here we spell Delphi as "Delfee", as it should
be in Greek. However, now I looked at a presentation
(http://www.borland.com/delphi/demo/octane_sneakpeek.html) of Delphi and
there the commentator spelled Delphi as "Delfay". Is that how you say it in
English? :)

People do seem to pronounce it two different ways though ...
Accenting on the e or accenting on the i

An exception is/can be any old object. The only difference is
that if an object is used in a raise statement, then that object is then
lifetime managed by the exception handlers.

Coming from that region they should be pronounced ohm-aru, and Tim-aru,
might not be the PC way to say it, but surely the correct pronunciation is
the way the locals say it.
As for Delphi, I seem to remember that the correct pronunciation - according
to key people at Borland is del-fee. It is a US

Delphi is named after one of the centers of the world in Greek
mythology.
I don't think either Maori or American pronounciation existed when it
was named :p

Agreed, I think it is pronounced wront on TV.

Long story short, our three tier software reports exceptions on the
server as strings which only contain the error message. On the client these
are all raised as EDatabaseError. I want to send exception types from the server
to the client. So we planned to change the serv
Mmmm.
Ignoring the fact that Pi and Delphi are both Greek and not Latin, let's
take this logic a little further.
It would appear that we are all pronouncing a number of word incorrectly.
For example Philosophy should more correctly be pronounced as Pielosophy.
Perhaps Photography should be Piotog

Yeah, though ISTR people who talk about the Oracle at the Delphi

hehe, funny
according to the encyclopedia, the correct pronunciation for Delphi is
DEL-f-eye, although i dont particularly remember anyone saying it that way,
at least in Spanish everyone says DEL-fee, which is far better, imho.
