1.4. A rose by any other name
William Shakespeare wrote: "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet." And so it is with
Ethereal, as there appears to be two different ways that people pronounce the name.
Some people pronounce it ether-real, while others pronounce it e-the-real, as in ghostly, insubstan-
tial, etc.
You are welcome to call it what you like, as long as you find it useful. The FAQ gives the official
pronunciation as "e-the-real".
