But what about haemoglobin? Its latin. They had their own (weird) ideas about spelling and pronunciation

I think one of my faves is zoxanthellae. I always missed the x in the middle. called them zoe-anthellay. Then one day Jamie pronounced it (correctly of course, zoe-zan-thellay). EmilyB and I sort of looked at each other and then later on had a good laugh (oohhh so thats how its pronounced!!!
