with the way it's spelled.
I've already said that if it isn't formed of
non-latin/greek derived words, then i know how to pronunce it
without needing someone to tell me how to do it; I just wanted to point out
that the way it's spelled would make many other people pronounce it wrong(unless
I have misinterpreted the spelling and am reading it differently from how
you'd like me to read it)
The way Mr. Lopes has spelled it (in
particular Pah-rah-lee-tee-tun) sounds as the most
appropriate.
For example, if the _i_ (the one between
-ral- and -ti- ) is pronounced the same way it's pronounced when you read
_your_ alphabet, then it's surely wrong written as such.
If I try to read the name Paralititan as you've
spelled it, a completely different name comes out.
Again, I like the name, how it sounds(to me) and
its meaning.
