    “Sacrum” as a “word starting with ‘say’ sound” is bullshit! At least in my dialect of English, it’s pronounced “sak-rum”, damn it!

      ::: spoiler Maybe it’s just us here, but we also pronounce Séance as it would sound in French.

      I never heard it pronounced as Say-ance. :::

          My point it is an “é”, not “ay”, though my french pronunciation is a mixture of Creole and poorly remembered high school French, so who’s to sé.

          Anyhow I always feel that there’s one combination in this game that is the least plausible of them all.

      Yeah, thought that was weak.

      I checked the dictionary and both are acceptable apparently, but I’ve definitely heard the ‘sack’ pronunciation more than they ‘say’.
