Title: Pronunciation
Post by: Drug_Phreak on August 25, 2004, 10:20:00 PM

SWIDP might have to talk to a sales person about a Soxhlet apparatus and doesn't want to sound unknowledgeable on the phone. How is Soxhlet pronounced? Is it like "Soxlet" with the "h" being silent? I wasn't able to find this info anywhere.
