for any new followers here: i am the Biggest hater of people pronouncing
this animal. as "Axe-oh-lottle"
the term 'axolotl' comes from Nahuatl, the language of the Nahua people (or the aztecs, for the uninitiated). it is derived from atl (water) and xolotl (one of the gods in the pantheon). in nahua, x's make a 'sh' sound, not a 'ks' sound. and when you have a 'tl' at the end of the word, it is best to just omit the l (since, in english it does not flow very naturally to make the Proper sound)
with this knowledge, we realize that the word 'axolotl' is actually pronounced "ash-o-lot" and Not "axe-oh-lottle"
anyway. thats my tedtalk
sincerely,
a native american who cares about language preservation
as an additional note, 'hua' like seen in "nahuatl" makes a 'wa' sound
so 'nahuatl' is pronounced 'na-wat' not 'na-how-tle'
jsyk
it really is quite bad for your military to have an image of itself as a warrior class. what you really want is for your soldiers to think of themselves as boring professionals who will fill out a report form if someone gets a little too warrior ethos out there
