Talk:breatharian

pronunciation
(cross-posted from talk:breatharianism .... well, i just noticed that the word air doesnt appear in this word. I have only heard this word spoken out loud once, and didnt know the spelling, but i got the impression it was intended to be "breathe-AIR-ianism", and when i did come across it in print i assumed the lack of the e after breath was just to conform to normal English spelling conventions.  But both the pronunciation and our etymology suggest that  is not involved in this word at all.  Thoughts? — Soap — 13:02, 8 April 2023 (UTC)


 * The word doesn't come from "breathe air", but "breath" + "-arian", similar to vegetarian, fruitarian, and meatarian. 2600:1006:B171:35A1:0:28:5899:2F01 22:35, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
