I have been watching a lot of youtube videos, most recently about anemone husbandry and related topics.
There is something that a lot of the most popular reef streamers and rookies alike are guilty of:
They mispronounce the word ANEMONE!
Instead of [uh-nem-uh-nee], they say [uh-nen-uh-mee]!
It really drives me crazy!!
If you've never noticed it before, you will now haha

Am I being overly sensitive? Absolutely.
Your thoughts?

I haven't noticed people mispronouncing anemone nearly as much as Chaetomorpha. "chaeto"--->"cheato"

That one is absolutely more prevalent, just doesnt bug me as much.

Fair point haha. I think the worst for me came from working in a store that carried both Freshwater and Saltwater. Hearing someone refer to cichlids as "chicklids" was like nails on a chalkboard.

The clowns "hosting the anemone" is my pain point.

You mean to tell me that your clownfish don't regularly invite your anemone to their place for dinner?

 

[Florida Sunshine]

Nope. My clown is mean. But she does love to visit her anemone and sometimes brings some food as a gift for her host.
