There are other families as warped as yours. ;-) Fri, 16 Feb 2007 16:29:28 +0000 http://wordie.org/words/epitome#comments http://wordie.org/words/epitome#comments I pronounced this as three syllables, ep-ee-tome, rhyming with roam, for far longer than I care to admit. A consequence of meeting words in print long before one ever hears them in conversation. The wrong pronunciation was immediately gleefully adopted by everyone else in the family and is still the one we use when talking among ourselves. As far as I can determine, other people may not have families quite as warped as mine, but a lot of folks admit to having had some initial difficulty in pronouncing <a href="/words/epitome">epitome</a>.
