MaryAnnHogan commented on the word Victorian horror vacui
From the NYTimes Home section, page D6, "Closeting the Arguments," Thursday June 18, 2009:
"She has the Zen aesthetic," Mr. Greene said. "I have the Victorian horror vacui, the fear of empty space."
Also some art is described as horror vacui. No empty spaces in the painting. Very cluttered.

i've heard Teva (footwear) pronounced Teeva and Tehva. I called the headquarters of the company and the name is definitely pronounced tehva. I recorded the correct pronunciation on this website.

I've heard Teva shoes pronounced both with an e sounding like McKean, and an e sounding like heaven. Which is real?
