Glad you approve.  It's a tad awkward phonetically, though.  One wants
to pronounce it like "muon" with a strong o instead a schwa.

So what all are we viral marketing now?  -iv instead of -ive when
pronounced /Iv/ . . . I do like that one.  It eliminates the spelling
confusion between "liv" and "live".  Although you're still stuck with
the competing analyses, and therefore pronunciations, of
"long-lived"...

The Gospel According to Mach, eh?  Sounds like something fighter jocks
