Just curious, I heard someone on the radio teh other day talking about
Viburnum tinus and they pronouced tinus in a way I'd never heard
before ao it made me wonder if I've been doign it wrong for all these
years.

Would anyone like to have a go at putting on screen how they pronouce
tinus?


V. tinus as in TEEnus would be correct in Latin pronunciation but I bet most
say TIEnus. ;-)
