I never noticed the word as being a problem before I moved to WY. I thought it was the word "meteor" with the r pronounced, followed by the suffix "ologist." 6 syllables. For the last 3 years it has been driving me crazy. "This is youh day weathuh meteowologist Ewic Gahdinuh..." OR the guy who carefully doesn't pronounce the r or w "meteo-ologist." The latest and perhaps worst is the guy who says "me-te-ologist." 5 syllables. UGH!!!

P.S. I do have other things to worry about:)
