| 494613 | 2006-10-26 22:58:00 | My guess would be: uh - mun - wen - see But try here (dictionary.reference.com). |

| 494614 | 2006-10-26 22:58:00 | From Dictionary.com (dictionary.reference.com), the proper pronunciation is uh-man-yoo-EN-sis. Oddly enough, I just came across this word in the last week or so, while reading Sight Unseen by Robert Goddard. |

| 494616 | 2006-10-26 23:27:00 | Best way is to actually hear it pronounced on line. The Miriam-Webster dictionary does that www.m-w.com Remember to turn on your speakers !!!!! :p Misty ;) |

| 494617 | 2006-10-26 23:28:00 | I confirm Miami Steve's version - not from online anything, but my high school English teacher's pronunciation. . She knew everything & was never wrong.... So are you going to be one, WestMclaren? Edit: That's nifty, Misty. |

| 494619 | 2006-10-27 00:46:00 | I've never had the need to pronounce it. | JJJJJ (528) | ||
| 494620 | 2006-10-27 02:34:00 | It also means an unnatural desire to support Manchester United What could ever be unnatural about a desire to support ManU? |
