Yeah? As like as not, around here it's "tit" as in "three-titted cow". But we do say "teat (teet) dip".

What about Bo-Se? How do you say that one? bow-see? I just always say "selenium injection" because I'm not sure if it's a word, or an abbreviation, or...

Bo-Sah????

I heard the vet say it first so I copied him & say "Bo-See"

Is that another one I've been saying wrong???

Okay....if any of y'all ever talk to me on the phone, I swear I'm not an idiot..... apparently I'm just challenged in the pronunciation department

I always read "bow-see" but it does make sense that it would be "suh" and not "see", since "suh" is the first syllable in "selenium", I gues...

I'm dizzy now. Going to go outside and spend some time with my Saanens...or is it SAY-neens, or Sy-AN-ens? UGH! I have NO idea what my goats are now!!!!

BTW, I've been TOLD (very sternly) by another goat-keeper (and not a good one at that) that it is most definately, positively, absolutely pronounced...

Sigh - AN - uns. She's been keeping goats for XYZ years now, and if anyone knows how to pronounce it, SHE does. (Never bought anything from her, and ran away as fast as I could!)

Thanks for the thread...now I have to go see how to really pronounce Katahdin!
