I always used to pronounce it zenn ith nay dur, but once I started hearing the words aloud, I forced myself to pronounce it zeen ith nay dear. Zenith, your guide is not helping me at all. Just what the fuck does : sound like?

Yeah, shouldn't the emphasis be on the ZEE in "ZEE-nith NAY-der"?

I think I used to pronounce Nadir "nah-DEER", but that was just stupid.

":" means "extended vowel sound"

so "i:" would be "ee"

i'm sorry i'm too cool for you plebians

and my way of pronouncing it is RIGHT, it's just you stupid americans who pronounce "zenith" with a long e for some reason

No. All British pronounciations are dumb and you know it.

I'd hate to be called Tomas Ayeto in amercia, Tom Ayeto? Jezus, British pronouns suck ass? At least they don't sound like someone just decided to pronounce it the way it's spelt, and makes it sound dumb.
