It's All Greek To Me
Much as I try to respect American English, there's something we need to clear up.
The word "Delphi" (as in the computer programming language/IDE, or the satellite radio system) is pronounced Del-fee, not Delf-eye.
OK? Do you hear me America? It's not fucking 'Delf-eye'. It's never been 'Delf-eye', it's pronounced Del-fee. It's a Greek word, the Greeks prounounce 'phi' as 'fee', so you pronounce Delphi as 'del-fee'.
I'm prepared to come around and drum it into you with a baseball bat, if it means that I don't have to hear one more person say "Delf-eye" with that 'Ooh look at me, I'm using a foreign word' smug tone.
