				Mind. Blown. That is an awesome list - thank you for passing that on, Melissa.
 
 
Checked it for my current go-tos for pronunciation, and found them all on there.

				That is one of my favoritist sites ever.  Thanks for putting it here, eX!
 
 
One other very worthy investment - get the paid version of the Merriam Webster Unabridged online.  The medical dictionary (with audio pronunciation in most cases) is golden! _________________ Dangerous.
