El-a-min-ee-um!


......

Or do you say it Aloom-in-um?
It's not easy having a good time. Even smiling makes my face ache.

I love that word! The only one I can't really pronounce is, Conscianse. Conscience. Whatever...
I used to rule the world, see it rise when I gave the word, now in the morning I sleep alone, sweep the streets I used to own

Is it true that you Americans pronounce it Al-oom-in-um?

*shakes head*

Al-a-min-ee-um is just so much cooler!

When I hear people say Al-oom-in-um it makes me laugh, it really doesn't sound right to me.
