How do you pronounce "anerytheristic"

I learned to say it "an-er-ther-iss-tic" because this kid I know says it that. If this is wrong, I would like to know the correct way to say it. Actually, I'm planning on buying a female anery motley at the Westchester reptile show/sale on Sunday and I don't want to sound dumb or anything. :)
 
I say an-er-ee ;) Seriously though, if you just say anery motley, and the person is clueless, you probably shouldn't buy from them. It's the same as saying "hypo" when you mean hypomelanistic....
 
yeah I figured if I couldn't find the answer I'd just say anery.
But I'm still curious what the "correct" way to pronounce it is. Is it in the dictionary? Maybe I should look it up
 
I've always said it like "an-erry-thriss-tic." Of course, I don't know if this is correct either. ;) Guess that's why everyone just says anery.
 
Well here in Texas most of us are lazy and dont pronounce most of the letters LoL I have been calling them an-ner-ris-stic They seem to understnad me...

But it is funny calling a petstore and asking what type of corns do they have and the lady goes and looks and comes back and says Albino. I say Oh ok Albino Red or Albino Black? She says Snow. LoL***Trying not to laugh at her**** I say is it an albino or a snow? She says it is an Albino.

I hang up and call 4 of the other idientical petstore chains in the area. And it turns out they all got snows.

LoL So I guess it is just a matter of perspective... you say potatoe and I say Neki-Neki-Neki-Cha-Bang! Cha-Bang!
 
yeah that's pretty much how I say it too. Oh well I just said "anery" and they knew what I was talking about. I got my f. anery. No anery motleys at the show..:(
This baby girl sure is cute though. :D
 
Ann er' i thris'tik you wont find it in the dictionary. It's from the word erythro, meaning red. Anerythristic (no red). Lookup the word erythrism, there are two ways to pronounce it, that should give you an idea. Putting a ann on the front and either pronunciation should do. IMHO
