Re: How to pronounce "Mecanum"
I've always said and heard "mek-uh-num," and sometimes "meh-can-um"
The spelling of mecanum is a pet peeve of mine. I've seen "mecnum," "mekanum," "mecanun," "mecannum," "mecum," and of course "mechanum."
In fact, I encourage you to do a simple experiment the next time a mecanum debate comes up. I hypothesize that the more single-mindedly supportive of mecanum wheels a poster is, the more likely they are to misspell it.
