[edit] Pronunciation

I recall reading a book that specified the pronunciation of Sylow, and noted that pronouncing it like Silo is completely wrong. It may have been "The theory of finite groups : an introduction", by Hans Kurzweil, and Bernd Stellmacher (but that strikes me as wrong) but I don't have access to the library to check it any more. In any case, we should have a note on the correct pronounciation, here and possibly on Sylow Theorem.--Prosfilaes 17:50, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

I support this comment. One of my teachers told me to pronounce it "sylov". We should definitively have an .ogg file with the pronunciation of his name. Randomblue (talk) 15:53, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
