(Mis)pronunciation

We had a lecture on stresses due to pressure today and the name Euler kept cropping up in the lecture and I can’t help but chuckle or cringe or both everytime because the lecturer pronounced it as ‘YU- LER’. I mean, this is Cambridge, right?

I wonder how many people in the masses actually know that Euler is pronounced as Oiler?

Yaz.

Hey, stop stereotyping me!

I just realised that 'stresses due to pressure' is somewhat ambiguous.
