What this is about — last year, I heard a speech at Synergy, where the speaker, Jo Lauria, kept mispronouncing a key word. Instead of saying “polymer”, which in my region of the United States is pronounced
“pollih-murr”,
she kept saying
“polly-meerh”.
[The final "h" is because the sound system gave the "r" a little bit of a roll. I don't know if the "r" enjoyed it.]
From “polly-meerh” to “PolyMirror” seemed a small step, but I hoped it would be in a more productive direction.
