I've got a funny question about pronunciation, actually. I
assume that the native English speakers out there
pronounce paleo as "pay-lee-oh", right? So it would rhyme
with "Hey, Leo!" I wonder, though, those of you from
France or say Sweden, when you say the word, would you
tend to use the "English" pronunciation, or would you say
"pah leo," which would rhyme with "tally-ho"?

I know it's quite a silly question, but I live in a
country where English isn't the first language, and to be
honest I've never heard anybody pronounce it!
