Well, it did make it to you and back without changing into some other
charcter. Thanks for helping with my test.

But it's not pronounced like a short a in "encyclopædia".
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
En-ci-clo-pee-dee-uh? Where's the short vowel a?

Not there. *That's what I just said*.

I wasn't looking for it in that word, so why did you bring it up?
Main Entry: en·cy·clo·pe·dia
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/encyclopedia

Not in English, anyway. Well, not in American English. Nor in phæton.
With those, I've run out of æ words. :)

I still don't get it.

Yes, you seem to be having difficulties here.

Maybe, maybe not. To pronounce "encyclopedia" correctly, all you need
to do is apply the rules of grammar and syllabication in English.

<sniffle> You're being mean to me and all I want to know is how to
pronounce ae.

Ask Sky. I explained it to her in the chat. ;-)

Tscheers,
