Hello Audra1976 at aol.com,

In reference to your comment:

Yes. very true. the old 'Veni Vidi Vici' is pronounced as such- the V's being 
'w's of course... you end up with Weechee.

-Snuffles.. latin is my friend.

dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dreams with 
open eyes, to make it possible. This I did."  T.E. Lawrence- Seven Pillars of 
Wisdom

Wow, we have a lot of pronunciations on that one

Me:

Did they pronounce the "g" too?  KAH-NIG-ITS!!  hehe, I'm sure all of us 
dorks got that.  I still can't fathom it.  "Knuts"="Kah-NOOTS"?   I really 
hope they don't say it that way in the movie.  And where is everyone getting 
the long "u" sound like in "newts"?  If it was "knutes," then I could see the 

long "u," but it's [NUTS], no silent "e" at the end.

Audra
