Caduceus

I've got a college-level education - in some topics - but it's all self-education. I've never been to lectures to hear how various words are pronounced, so I've always pronounced them my own way.

So I'm listening to my favorite book recording artist, Robin Bailey, reading Catherine Aird's A Late Phoenix, and he pronounces the word Caduceaus as Cad-u-say-us.

I'd always thought it was pronounced Cuh-doo-she-us, or even cuh-doo-shus.

Of course the Brits do pronounce some words differently than we do... alumin-ee-um instead of uh-loom-inum, shedule instead of skedule, and so on.
