While I can't do much to protect you from the covid variant, I can protect you from trepidation about saying "omicron" and, in fact, any other word - especially those originating in languages other than English. The primary reason involved the companys PF940 series 'Buy Build Shoot' kit, which includes an unfinished 80 -percent Gen 3 Glock-style frame and components to help finish it as a handgun. The confusion reveals a larger misunderstanding about how pronunciation works. For example, when Mother Jones Deputy Editor James West seeks out the "correct pronunciation" by surveying scholars of the Ancient Greek language, he’s confusing readers.Īnd news outlets like The Wall Street Journal and Bustle are leading readers astray with headlines that say "you're probably saying omicron wrong," then go on to talk about how it should be pronounced like the ancient Greeks did.
Some news articles arrived at the same bad place. The consensus on Twitter seems to be that, because "omicron" is a Greek word, we should all pronounce it like Greek speakers do. Like: “Is omicron more contagious or deadly?” And: “Will omicron create more lockdowns or extend the pandemic?” But mostly: “How do you say ‘omicron’?” The omicron variant of covid, which emerged in November, raised questions.
