Hmm I say coe-vid but thinking about it, it actually SHOULD be coh-vid etymologically, since the Co- comes from co-rona. And no one says COE-rona, they say coh-rona.
However the whole work Covid has the dumbest etymology of any word ever so we should just all say it however we want. Schplovid-19. |
