Is it "O point 850 thru 0 point 890"
Not sure what the dot is.

Quick question on the Latin / English names in sections 4 & 5 -- do you have a preference on when to use Classical Latin pronunciation and when to use English pronunciation?
I was initially thinking to use a Classical Latin pronunciation for the names listed after each plant name (i.e., "KI-trus ber-GAH-mi-a" for Citrus Bergamia) rather than an Anglicized version (like "Sih-trus Ber-GAY-mi-a") for consistency.
However, there are a number of plant family Latin names scattered throughout the normal text, and I'm wondering if you'd prefer those in a Latin pronunciation or an Anglicized one to be less jarring. For example under Benzoin, the text references "Styracaceae". Do you want those read Anglicized like "Stai-ra-kay-cee-ai", or Classical Latin ("stu-ra-kah-keh-ai")?
Thanks!

I have no preference... whichever you are most comfortable with. After all, not many people are native Latin speakers, so there is probably some debate as the "correct" way anyway.elham wrote:Quick question on the Latin / English names in sections 4 & 5 -- do you have a preference on when to use Classical Latin pronunciation and when to use English pronunciation?
