I spelled "Cesium" "Caesium" on a chemistry test and got marked off.
So, would that be pronounced "KY-see-um"?

I've been pronouncing Maemo as MEE-mo. All of the Finns from Nokia on YouTube say MAY-mo. But then, at work we have a server named Caelus, and everyone there tries to correct me when I say KY-lus and not KAY-lus.
And I've always said NOKE-yuh, whereas everyone around me says no-KEE-ah, because they assume it's a Japanese company.
