Why did the pronunciation of the first syllable of "omicron"
change from a short o to a long o when it became a virus?
We dunno. The long o ("OH-mi-cron") is a British pronunciation,Dumb news from Indiana:
but the short o ("OM-i-cron") is the preferred pronunciation found
in reputable dictionaries. (and the correct pronunciation in Greek,
of which it is a letter of the alphabet). There's an article in Good
Housekeeping indicating that the oddball pronunciation may have
been initiated by an official at the World Health Organization
