How to pronounce "chaos"?
Hello! During a heated discussion in my book club about the pronunciation of "chaos," I realized I had been saying it wrong all along.

Hello! Wow! It sounds like quite a discussion. 

Yes, the word "chaos" is deceiving. The letter combination "ch" is pronounced as the letter "k". So the word "chaos" is pronounced as "ka - yos". The "a" is pronounced the same as in the word "cake"; the "y" is pronounced the same as in the word "yellow"; the "o" is pronounced the same as in the word "orange". 

Thank you so much for the question and I hope this helps!
