Some more stick up the --- pronounciation stuff



  I was thinking this over, and I might not have been clear about the way
dinosaurs' names should be said.  If it has a place name in its name, the
name should be said like the place name, not like the way the Latin letters
go together.  Thus _Argentinosaurus_ should be said ar-Hen-ti-no-sau-rus, NOT
ar-Jen-ti-no-sau-rus.  Also in Riojasaurus and Riojasuchus, the 'J's are said
like 'H's.  The same rule applies for dinosaurs named after people; like in
Herrerasaurus for example, the 'H' is silent and the double-r is rolled (if
you can).  By any chance, does anyone know if the 'B' in Lawrence Lambe's
last name was pronounced (like in Lambeosaurus)?

This must be really confusing to all you people who speak Spanish as a first
language...
