richten[/url]":30rphik0]It has nothing to do with the subject, but watching the video I was really bothered by the way he was pronouncing Orion. Took me a while to know what he was talking about ("what is or-ion?"). Is that really how Americans say it? You do know it is a Greek name, it's written Ὠρίων, it should be pronounced like "onion".

Yes, that's how we typically pronounce Orion. Think of it as our accent; there's no reason to expect we'd pronounce it the same way a Greek would, even ignoring the various Greek accents.
