Bedrock Bob 4,057 Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 I think that word can only be pronounced with a mouth full of Vegemite. I once saw a video of an Australian kid reciting the alphabet. It was a lot like a Navajo spelling bee. Quite incomprehensible. I have never heard words like that spoken. I only recognize them by the printed word. It is a darn good question. What the heck does that word sound like? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bedrock Bob 4,057 Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 If an Australian speaks in the woods and there is no one to hear it does it still sound cool? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bill37 0 Posted October 1, 2019 Author Share Posted October 1, 2019 Thank you for the responses. Nice place, here. Much appreciated!! I happened to have a chat with Beth Carrillo, President of Aerolite Meteorites. She said: It all rhymes with Bill, and is pronounced Mill-Bill-ill-ee. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
