All of my life I have pronounced Cephalopod as I had been taught. With a soft C...
Then this happened.
Last night I found myself watching 'Life on Our Planet' and unwinding to the dulcet tones of Mr. Morgan Freeman as he did what he does best.
Fast forward to the segment on the shallow seas, and the introduction of the various featured species.
Cue the cephalopods.
I had to re-watch it to make sure I had heard what I thought I had heard. Then I re-watched it again. And again. And then like 7 more times to make sure.
Morgan Freeman pronounces cephalopod with a hard 'C'.
I have questions.
Do I dare doubt the narration prowess of the great Morgan Freeman? Have I been lied to my entire life? Am I the one pronouncing it incorrectly? Are both pronunciations accepted in the community and the memo has just taken awhile to get around? Or did Mr. Freeman simply screw up and nobody called him on it because, well... Morgan Freeman? And lastly, why does this bother me so much?
So, biologists. What is it?
/s/ephalopod or /k/ephalopod?
