My god. I feel so dumb I must share it with the world to clear my conscience. For as long as I've been a member here I've thought that "anisotropic filtering" was pronounced "antistropic" filtering. (Anne Thai Straw Pic)

That's like a mistake a 9 year old would make and I'm 21... :eek:

Actually, based off of the pronounciation key and the, hm, dimorphic pronounciation, on the website either way works (I pronouce pot like it's "paht"). :cool:
 
I use to think AA was pronounced ANTI A-LAY-ZING. Although I still call it that cause aliasing sounds retarded to me now.

I am, and you should as well. There are two pronounciations, with two phonetics for the 'o' sound in the 'tropic' part of the word (one with a little curve above the o, and one with a line). From the pronounciation key, those two phonetics correspond to the 'o' sound in "pot" (the way I'm pronouncing it) and the 'o' sound in "toe" (the way you're pronouncing it).
 
i got my pronunciation from keynote speeches.


uh-NEE-so-TROE-pic
 
no

it is an ISO tropic

why are we still debating this

when you say isotropy or isotropic think how you are saying it, now just add an 'an' in front of it
