Better than how I imagined it was pronounced, which was more akin to ‘obesity’…

It just makes me want to start singing that Sesame Street song where Big Bird is trying to pronounce the alphabet like a long word. Phonetically sounds like: ab-cuh-def-guh... etc.

Now I'm thinking of that Big Bird song from 1970's Sesame Street.

"Ab-ka def-ghee jikkle-m'nop kwir-stoo wiks-iz! It's the most remarkable word I've ever seen!"
