Didn't I say in #uf to look in the dictionary? I always use the online dictionary cause it doesn't take up room or cost money. D00d.

And all this time, I was pronouncing it "ASH-er-ON". Oh well... I'll probably still pronounce it that way, just because I'm stubborn and stuff.

Doncha just hate it when your pronunciation of a name has been wrong for MONTHS before you find out what it should sound like? When it's a person there's no choice - gotta call him Octavis and erase that Octavius (real example, not quite on point, but excellent illustration) from the memory banks. But I'm sorry who's gonna know if I keep pronouning Acheron my own special way? Ashes, baby.

When I hold the mouse over the name & logo I get:

\Ach"e ron\, n. (Myth). A river in the Nether World or infernal regions; also, the infernal regions themselves. By some of the English poets it was supposed to be a flaming lake or gulf.

Oooo-er....they probably know where I live & what I had for tea as well!
