Okay, so this is probably the stupidest question to be posted in a while, but I avoid bringing the new multiband radio up in conversation because I don't know how to pronounce it...
Is THALES
"TH" like "THING"
"A" like "ADAM"
"LES" like "LEE" (a guy's name) ?????

Re: How do you pronounce "Thales"
The company pronounces it "Taliz" with a short "a" as in "Ah the hell with it!"
Most of us around here (except for one guy, and you know who your are) just pronounce it "Thails."

Re: How do you pronounce "Thales"
Depending on the part of the county you were raised in, Dallas could pronounced with the "as" like one's rear section or like "us" as in you and me.
So that still leaves Thal-ass or Thal-us.

Well, it's kind of offtopic, but on the other hand it's usefull info (I've asked this question myself), so we'll tack it up top for now, and close the thread.
