I was wondering how to pronounce a few words, by a few I mean a lot. I believe I know how to pronounce most of these but just want to make sure before I screw one up. I'd be curious to see if other English speakers around the world pronounce these words differently. Oh and the traditional ways they write how to pronounce things are occasionally confusing with upside down letters and capitalization so I would appreciate it if you wrote it something like this. Fossil - Fo rhymes with Law and ssil like soul. Like look at this you could barely tell what word this is supposed to be /ˌpālēənˈtäləjē
