That's close enough. I would have gone Ther-MOP-uh-lee, but you have the syllable accent and ending vowel correct, so I'm happy.StevieG wrote:Nick pronounced it Thermo-pile.
The correct pronunciation was Ther-mo-pyle, with a 'y' sound at the end, like Ther-mo-pilly - I think

Ewe might love that I'm leaving the obscenity behind, as I think most of us are aware that this term probably doesn't belong in a family forum!
Now for the question...
What parallel to his own life experience did Angus recognize in sympathizing with Norna.
(Note: There's a very specific term I'm looking for...)

To be honest, I've always been reticent declaring this a family forum, considering it's founded on our appreciation of books about a leperous rapist...IrrationalSanity wrote:Ewe might love that I'm leaving the obscenity behind, as I think most of us are aware that this term probably doesn't belong in a family forum!
