How do you pronounce "peltier"?

-Giz

 

[PCAddict]

pel-tee-er.

At least that is how I and the guys I work with pronounce it.

 

[Soybomb]

I hear pel-tee-er the most too, although I've heard some try a french-ish attempt of pel-tee-ahy

 

[BiggieN]

Peltier

Commonly referred to in Pennsylvania as a "Dohicky Do-hic-e" or a "Thingamabob Thing-ah-mah-bob"

Morning everyone :Q *Yawn*


<Edit>

Also, speaking of definitions, I'd be careful to call myself &quot;Giz&quot; as a nickname from now on. Might give the wrong impression

Thats that guy who rage against the machine is always talking about.

 

[ChrichtonsGirl]

I have a friend with a similar name and she pronounces is &quot;pel-tee-ay&quot;. I've also heard &quot;pel-tee-air&quot;.

 

[Gorgonzola]

i pronounce it the way BiggieN described it.

 

[hans007]

i always said PELT - ER , thats what me and my friends always said, we could be wrong but its easier to say.

<< although I've heard some try a french-ish attempt... >>



That's because it IS French, after Jean Peltier, the guy who discovered the thermoelectric phenomenon.

pel-tee-er?
pel-tier?

c'mon...

Dave

EDIT: I bet you guys can't even get his first name right... I'll give you a hint, it's not &quot;Gene&quot;.

 

[Octaneous]

Z24 is the only smart one here it seems - must be Canadian!
Its pronounced Pel - Tee - &quot;EH!&quot;
!!!French and Canadian!!!

I know its kinda hard for you guys, but you'll catch on - don't worry!

P.S the first name is pronounced hard to explain by type: &quot;Jauhn&quot; (the &quot;n&quot; is weak) is the best I can do for you there

Coming from Jean-Claude Giraud himslef (pronounce JON - CLOD - GER - OH) I must say that it is pronounced Pel-tee-ay after Jean Peltier.

BUT, despite this, I call the DEVICE Pel-tee-er out of force of habit. :Q


I still think they suck too!

Just call it a TE module, then you don't have to worry about the pronuciation.

You would also be more correct. The ThermoElectric modules use the peltier effect to work. It is a misnomer to call them peltiers.

[Frenchie]

Doesnt anyone hear know/speak French?????

Correct pronounciation is &quot;Pel-tee-ay&quot;

 

[AndrewR]

Frenchie is right about the...uh, French. I've always pronounced it Pel-tee-ay. It figures that sheltered computer people would call it Pel-tee-er.
