In Britain it is pronounced with the emphasis on "Zoo" (rather than "Zo") eg. Zoo-ology. In the USA, it is pronounced: Zo-ology. I am a primatologist and have worked in several zoos in the USA (as well as in Britain). What I have found is that both pronunciations are used in the USA. In Britain, the "zoo-ology pronunciation is generally always used. Many zoologists who now live/work in the USA have trained in Britain and/or worked with British zoologists, so they tend to adhere to the British pronunciation. I'd also guess, those who work in "zoos" might tend to be biased toward the British "zoo-ology" pronunciation, but that is just a personal observation. <br /> salliezoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03798201026079977782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11674684.post-28280283198295853172013-09-21T13:54:18.949-06:002013-09-21T13:54:18.949-06:00Glad to do it!
