I wasn’t sure if green was a red herring but went for it anyway

No default for me either today although my connection wasn’t quite the same for purple.

no default but I had to make a lucky stab at a blue and a purple. I checked on yesterday’s blues and we do pronounce sacrum differently in the U.K. that group only works with the US pronunciation.

Do we? I would say say-crumb, but it’s not a word I use often enough to really have an opinion on.

Show quote history

The dictionary says the British pronunciation is sa crum and that how I’ve always said it ( on the odd occasion I’ve used it in biology back in the day).

Show quote history

Thinking about it, I don’t know that I’ve ever heard it said out loud. I think I’ve only ever read it so pronounced it like sacred.

Stowickthevast · 30/10/2025 12:27

I would also say "say-crum" and I feel like that's the way they say it in every yoga/pilates class I've been to. Maybe just US influenced.
