And all google searches indicate that no one else is using it yet!  |
Oh my!
For all these years, I've been "pronouncing it in my ear" wong.
I was doing ster (rhymes with stir -- like stir the coffee) plus us (rhymes with bus) Now that I know it's eee-us, need to find out about the first half. Is it pronounced:
1) Ster -- rhymes with stir (like stir the coffee)
or
2) Ster -- rhymes with "stair" (like climb the stairs?)
