Mnemosyne!

[azurelunatic]

XP is verily installed on the new HD. The installation + drive combo has been named Mnemosyne, which is potentially one of my read-only words, given that the only MN word I can reliably pronounce is "mnemonic".

...why, yes. Most of my Saturday afternoon was taken up with Finding Mnemo...

She's to be Mnemosyne no matter what machine she's actually in. So I may wind up wandering around with either Gemini-the-lappy or Allegra running Mnemosyne.

I've always pronounced the mn in "mnemonic" as just a regular n, I think. Is it supposed to be a different sound?

[azurelunatic]

It's a fool-the-brain visual sound. My tongue gets tied up in not knowing whether to say M or N, and the brain won't let it get out right.

My old stuff is on a partition called Mnemosyne. You'd think this would be standard-ish, but yours is the only other I know.

Education in the classics is being neglected!

Don't get me started on the way the classics are neglected.

Mnemosyne is indeed pronounced with the initial "N" sound. Now, your assignment is to pronounce her name 9 times, and then pronounce the names of her 9 daughters 9 times each.

There will be a quiz.
