But see i still can pronouce things just right without any herpers to say it to me.:carrot:

loo-systic, but what do I know?

i must admit that i dont know how to pronounce half the science related things i know a lot about. the fact is, i've been self-taught on everything and most of the stuff i read doesnt exactly have the little dictionary style pronunciation cues.
its never a problem until i go to a herp show or something like that and sound like an idiot when i'm trying to talk herps with people.
any way around this?

lol thats a new bp morph name in the waiting if ever i heard one :D
ive always prononced it loo-sis-tic

I have heard people say it as "low-chistic." Low, rhyming with how you'd say "Ow!" if you got hurt.

I've always pronounced Leucistic as Loo-Systic, Boid as "Bo-id", Boidae as "Bo-id-ay", yet Boids as "Boyds".
