- jlos 9y agoWhat's your source? "Eu" is a very common Greek dipthong typically take as "yu",for the traditional Erasmian pronunciation, or "Ev" for modern reconstructed Greek.
- sillysaurus3 9y agoJust a little joke. It's nice for trolling your friends though. They go the whole day thinking it's pronounced Oiklidian geometry.
- thaumasiotes 9y agoThat's not true at all. Euler is a German name. Euclid is a Greek name.
