[Lanx]

actually i don't care about the subject, more the word when i see it, it reads out GLUT-en free like the sin gluttony rather that GLOOT-en free, so like ppl don't have health issues, anyone else read it like this? anyone other words that pop into ppls minds like

do you call the x-man villan
magnet-o
or
magnee-toe
this one is rather easy and i always say magnee-toe cuz of the cartoon series.

apologies to ppl affected by gluten.

Gluten did strike me as kinda odd for a native English speaker before. No problems with the word in German.

Your pronounciation of "magneto" appears to be correct, it dates to 1978 at least (I first stumbled across this term for a classic ignition device in Peter Gabriel's song Modern Love; being the son of an engineer, he can be expected to have been exposed to things technical back in the day).

I pronounce the first half of "Gluten" like the first half of "Glucose".
I trust there is no ambiguity with the pronunciation of "Glucose", so I won't elaborate on how it is pronounced.
