: Are you that old that you remember how the
: ancient Greeks pronounced their alphabet
: (sorry, alphabayt)? I'm sure you aren't -
: you're much too beautiful!

: But if you had been, you'd have remembered that
: their alphabet had two O's - the Big O and
: the Little O. The Big O was Omega and the
: Little O was Omicron.

: O - mega. Mega as in Megabucks. Do you
: pronounce it Maygabucks? Please speak up a
: bit, I'm the other side of the Atlantic!
: Don't you say Megabucks?

: Just wondered.

: Personally, I agree with TJ who quotes
: Shakespeare about the sweet smell of roses.
: What does it matter how we say the word?

: Incidentally, being an ancient Briton, I have
: always said Omiga - with the accent on the O
: - so that's another variation!
