Pronounce CRON-O-Meter
i've always pronounced it like it's spelled CRON-O-Meter. But i heard mercola in one of his video's call it Chronometer...
have i been saying it wrong all these years?
I am an amateur. I've been using CRON-O-Meter for 10 years and counting, still learning.....

I have been saying it like "chronometer". You have been pronouncing it C-R-O-N-O-meter?
lol yeah! the stand alone java app is spelled CRON-O-Meter...CRON is an acronym for calorie restriction with optimum nutrition. i thought the dash -OH- and meter was a attempt at humor. so yes i call it CRON, OH, Meter.....lol
maybe we'll be graced by Aaron to set the record straight....

It started out as Cron-O-meter, but you will hear both Cron-O-MEEter and Cronometer flying around the office -sometimes even in the same sentence!

cron - rhymes with Ron, o - rhymes with dough, and meter - rhymes with Peter.
I'm not getting what the other version is. Do people mean the o is sometimes pronounce like "ah" ? And do you mean sometimes people pronounce it starting with a c, h, ? Why would they add an h? I'm confused.
Do you mean they pronounce it crow-no-meeter?
By the way, why does the apple have a dart in it? I never really noticed that till this thread. Or, it's to do with gravity? Aim to eat more apples? Just wondering.
If you look closely you'll notice that the arrow and its shadow resemble the hands of a clock. The tail of the arrow also resembles a heart and the middle of the apple is a target. I'm sure it all has some deep and significant meaning but I'm concerned by the lack of dots.

I think the old java app was CRON-o-Meter, a funny take on a name for a tool to help CRON dieters...
then when Aaron went pro they dropped the -'s and started pronouncing it like a time piece....
I still call it cron-o-meter though, it adds a layer of humor to something so powerful!

So cupid has something to do with cronometer? And he will strike at 5 o clock? Cronometer will help us find love? Or it's to do with a deep love of apples. I'm going to go eat an apple and ponder this.
Okay, I'm still confused but I'll just let it go now. ^^ Thank you for trying. Have a good day.
"I still call it cron-o-meter though" but isn't this what it's currently named? The heading looks like cronometer and the website is cronometer.
