Well here is another one with a Germanic tongue. I`m Norwegian, and I
fell into using the hard C when I first started pronouncing it...

Subject: pronounciation of Cerilia


Hi Rich, this may sound funny after 6 years theres is a thread on BRnet on
how to pronounce 'Cerilia'. :-)
some say they pronounce it as: 'Ke-RIL-ee-ah' and some as 'Se-RIL-ee-ah'.
could you help us straighten this out?

Well, who am i to oppose Rich? :)
I always thought the S sounded nicer (less harsh perhaps), but that K was the proper way. It is nice to know, however, that this `basic' question required going to the top dog for the final answer. :)
