The Apolyton Search Support Apolyton, buy Alpha Centauri

Are there really 10 000+ DMOZ listed web pages of Apolyton? I did a Google search with the name and I got that results. Whoa!

The most interesting was

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/apolyton/

A group on Yahoo with 1 member. Come on, admit who started that. I was going to join but it looked too exciting, what with it's one member and empty message board.

******

Also, this is probably on the FAQ, but how do you pronounce Apolyton. Is it A-poly-ton ( a polly ton) or Apo-lyton ( apoe lition) otr something else I could never fathom?

Alynzia.

Support Apolyton or Terrorists Win

There are two schools of thought on this one. Either (to mark it's Greek-Canadian nature) it's said with a heavy Canadian accent, ie. apple-AI-ton. Or, since it's a greek word, it's pronounced the way a greek would say it which (correct me if I'm wrong, but I asked a cypriot girl to help me) would be AH-pol-yih-toh.

To clarify:

The proper pronunciation of Apolyton is "Ah-poll-e-ton". I have said in the past that "A-poll-i-ton" is the 'Canadian accent'. I will be thoroughly impressed if anyone can figure out the origin of the latter.
