Comment on How do you pronounce "centaur" and why?

Like the other commenter I pronounce it sen-tor. Just like the word “dinosaur” I would pronounce die-no-sor if that makes sense. Both words end in “aur”.
…though now you’ve got me curious about how you and your wife pronounce dinosaur :)

Dino-saw. That’s just because of how the DNA molecule character pronounces it in Jurassic Park, and it cracks me up.

I always heard it as dina-sour in Jurassic Park, can’t shake that mental reference haha
