How many have pronounced anemone wrong?

[ubersalt]

This was when I got started a few years back and went to the fish store and asked about the clownfish and heard about their relationships with anemones. So I asked the guy "So can clownfish survive without the presence of 'a-ne-mones'?
With a straight face (probably laughing inside) he said "You mean a-nem-o-nees?"
I felt so stupid.
So how many of you though it was a-ne-mones?

I grew up thinking they were anenemies. I had to train my mind to remember "money" (not to hard), so I would remember a-ne-money. :thinking:

I Did -- I am guilty. My friends then ask me, "haven't you seen Finding Nemo?" I say no. Some of my friends are not even into salt water and they pronounced it right the first time!
