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. ;-)

And what about titinus?

From which I suffer!(:-(

Possibly a lack of a spell checker as well, shouldn't that be TINITUS?,
unless you are hearing, or seing different things from the majority of
sufferers. :-)

The bloody spell checker on this machine is very selective, sometimes it
will work, others not, so I often don't bother to use it, especially when I
KNOW I'm right!(:-)

But yes, it should have been tinitus!
