Butchering Pronunciations

[Lost_Tarantula]

I'm in the US and I speak Latin the same way you do: every letter, all hard (no soft C's and G's, etc.) I was taught Latin that way...it makes it so much easier. And to think before Latin I was learning French. Wooo! What a difference. ;P

Because is sounds better than calling them Posies
