I have no idea why nurses feel the need to pronounce this simple word in such a rediculously affected manner. I was a physics and math major and not until nursing did I EVER hear someone pronounce centimeter as sonometer. It makes me want to hurl!!!
I regret entering the field of nursing. I did not realize it was filled with the most angry, trashy and petty little XXXXX that I ever have had the displeasure of working with. If somehow technology could capture the energy of nurse's moodswings, we would no longer be dependent on foreign oil.
