Gill oh teen <-- The correct way cuz it sounds less Frenchie.
But I admit saying "lee ay ih zahn" instead of "lie uh sun".

Off with their heads!
As I recall, M. Guillotine was a Frenchie.
correct me if I'm wrong...
Speaking of Frenchies, I also admit to saying "fray nell" for "Fresnel".
My goal of purging Francophonian influence is a work in progress.
I know."Fray-nell is the only acceptable pronunciation.
We just need a more fonettic spelling.
What! Spelling reform? in English?
Heresy!
It's "dee rayl' err".
Speaking of bikes....
I hate the bike world's convention of referring to aluminum as "alloy".
An alloy is just the combination of any 2 elements to change properties.
Example: Steel is an alloy of iron & carbon.
All aluminum on bikes is alloyed because pure aluminum has low strength.
I'm doing my small part with words like "thru".
That's enuf of that!!
