pronunciation - New Rules

You know, for a while I was embarrassed to talk plants aloud in fear that I 
would pronounce things incorrectly, I would mumble amongst myself hoping no one 
would hear me!  Then I realized that the enjoyment I had for plants wasn't any 
less because I couldn't say this correctly or I was worried someone would wonder 
what I was talking about!  The only way we can learn is from others, as long as 
I can get my idea across and someone has the slightest clue as to what I'm 
talking about I feel like I've got things covered :)
