Hi WWM Crew, my wrasse's caudal peduncle seems to have faded on both sides and lost it's pink coloration normal of a Lubbock's fairy wrasse. The spot is not white (typical of a parasite infection), but clear, and looks like it has lost pigment. There is also a place on the pale patch where it looks raised in places, almost like the skin has peeled up. lt;Hmmm... do look at pictures of fishes in the archives and beyond with "dropsy" like symptoms (bacterial)... a possibility here.

The word was invented by Donald Watson in the 1940's. It is pronounced "vee-gun". This is the most common pronunciation in the UK today. No one can say this pronunciation in "wrong", so this is also the politically correct pronunciation. In the US, common pronunciations are "vee-jan" and "vay-gn" in addition to "vee-gn", though the American Vegan Society says the correct pronunciation is as per the UK.

The opinions in this regard are not univocal.

That is the question we're asked most often! It is pronounced "tooth", the "w" is silent. The name is a combination of 'two' (for two minutes) and 'tooth'.

Wireshark is pronounced as the word wire followed immediately by the word shark. Exact pronunciation and emphasis may vary depending on your locale (e.g. Arkansas). It's spelled with a capital W, followed by a lower-case ireshark. It is not a CamelCase word, i.e., WireShark is incorrect.

I prefer the name of my company to be Matt Pulcinella Guitars or MPG, not Pulcinella Guitars. In other words, in an aphabetical list, it should fall under M. If I see anyone on "e-bay" selling their MPG as a "Pulcinella Guitar" I'll make sure I'm the highest bidder and then not pay for it.

Just like it sounds. Hyde as in Jekyll and Hyde, or Hyde as in the game, hide and seek (not to be mistakened with the jrockers of the same names XD). Due to the Japanese language, Japanese fans pronunce it Haido, since that's how his name is written in katakana. However, if you're not a native Japanese speaker, it'll probably sound awkward if you try to pronounce Hyde's name the Japanese way o_O;

Europeans say GON′-dб-la, and Americans say gon-DŌ′-la. Both pronunciations are correct – same word, same meaning. The root word translates as “a basket that carries things.”

Joost" is pronounced like "juiced" in English (i.e. it rhymes with boost). Using the International Phonetic Alphabet, the word is spelled /ʤu:st/. Interesting factoid: Joost is a common first name in the Netherlands, with a pronunciation close to "yawst" in British English. This is not how you pronounce the name of the Joost software).

Despite what you've read in People or heard on Oprah, it's not "Vox." It's "Vax" … rhymes with "ax" or "tax." The fact that he was born and raised in New York is just a coincidence. Any name that isn't spelled as it sounds is likely to suffer this fate; phonetic attempts produce varying results. A linguist once informed us that there are "three literate misspellings" of Vachss ... "Vacchs," "Vachhs," and "Vaachs.
