Really stupid question, but...

[Sabeth]

How do you pronounce "boehmei"????? I cannot figure out how it's supposed to sound! Thanks.

We call it bowme as in (rain) bow but its probably different over where you live. I totally love American accents.

That's close to what I was thinking it was...I was pronouncing it "bow-may"!

Canadian accents trump American accents! Come on! lol

Yeh Canadian is great as well.

Here in South Africa I've heard it pronounced Bow-my... Trust me the funniest has to be someone speaking English with an Afrikaans accent

I love on you tube when they call it brachypelma smithi we call it smithee. London accent is quite plain compared to how most of you talk. Probably why I like American comedies so much.....

 

[pennpets]

And here I thought any accent but mine was cool...
found this pronunciation online: braa-kee-PEL-muh bay-mee

not how I pronounce it, but I still call betta (fish) BAY-tuh not BET-uh

use google translator and click on the audio section and select the language it is derive from (since its latin pick Spanish) . it does a pretty good job on pronouncing them.

There are no stupid questions! That's what having a forum like this is about! There's ALWAYS someone else who was wondering the same thing - like me!
Thanks for the question and the answer!

Very valid point Josh. How can one's questions be answered if the questions are never asked in the first place?
