Re: [meteorite-list] How to pronounce...
Thanks, Jeff, for the link! I was having some fun with this and found out Bjurbole is pronounced (in English) as gerbil and not beer belly! I also typed in NWA 001 and got an unexpected result.

Re: [meteorite-list] How to pronounce Willamette
Except, of course, that's not what it's called. Wil-LAM-it or Wil-a-MET, nobody familiar with meteorites is going to fail to know what you are talking about. That's generally true for any common pronunciation variants with other meteorites as well. Tomanowo will generate lots of blank stares. Formalized nomenclature exists for a reason.
