[Ads-l] Retrofit [re-TROFF-it] -> 'biopic'

[GUY LETOURNEAU Owner]

Delightful!

Whenever I encounter 'biopic,' I often mentally force the pronunciation to match that of '-biotic,' as in anti- or pro-.
It gives the discussion of a media work a strange medical twang, and maybe even a slight whiff of carbon tetrachloride...

CNN News reader Isa Soares reports that the Large Hadron Collider's
two-year [re-TROFF-it] is complete.

 -- Too bad they didn't trofit it right the first time.
