Same here.

Yes, it's ay-zan-thic, and this is why... In Latin, a- means without, xanth- means yellow, and -ic means having the nature of. So axanthic means without yellow. Think of sexual and asexual reproduction (as in bacteria and fungi) as another example of the prefix a-.

this is for sure one that would change along with where you live. peeps in boston speak way diff than peeps in new orleans and oregon

that said ive always said ax-an-tic

I'm pretty sure it's pronounced A-Zan-Thick

Seems like we all like to think we are 'thick' here on bp.net:D

Pronounced with a 'z'....:gj:

wow, i always called it an "Aggz - An - Thick"
