Say My Name

[quasigeostrophy]

In my atmospheric dynamics class today, we finally started on my LJ name. Specifically, the Quasi-Geostrophic Approximation: a set of ugly-looking equations that govern all the motions on the scale of a typical U.S. weather map.

I also learned that my LJ name should be pronounced with emphasis on the 1st and 4th syllables (KWAS-i-jee-OSS-trow-fee). :-)


ION, when I went to lunch, having seen this, I was tempted to ask "I can has cheeseburger?" when I ordered my food. :-)

:-) I had been putting emphasis on the next-to-last syllable, which to me had always seemed forced, but I'd never heard anyone else say the word aloud until today. The adjective form that ends in -ic is used more often and is pronounced with the emphasis I'd been using.
