Nah - I've corrected them on more than one occassion myself. They don't know the real prononciations most of the time, so I'm sure it seemed natural to them that you would pronounce it as such.

I really recommend this site : http://demo.acapela-group.com/

It will pronounce the words for you. Someone in tPF mentioned it in the past and I loved the site ever since (even though I don't need it, but my friends sure do! )

I always say papee-yon as I used to have a papillon dog, my very favourite animal. Before my puppy I usually pronounced it wrong.:shame:

 

[sophiae]

It's pronounced: papee-yON.

Could you also show the short hand for each name? I am shame to say it, but I don't know what BH is? :shame:
