I would also like entomologists to pronounce the insect orders properly. That 'p'? It belongs to the '-ter'. It's 'pter', for wing. As in 'coleo-ptera', the 'shield wing', not 'col-e-OP-tera'. Or 'neuro-ptera', the 'lace-wing', not 'neur-OP-tera'.

We actually put the accent on a syllable THAT DOESN'T FUCKING EXIST in the Greek.

Fucking nonsense.
