How is Golgi pronounced? Soft or hard 'g's. Does it matter? Jenks 20:55, 1 May 2005 (UTC)
A hard G. I'm not sure that it matters but it is pronounced with a hard g.
Goal-guy. This does matter because what if you were in an operating theatre and you said the gauljee body is not functioning? You could be discussing the laws of gravity!The Director 16:36, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
- Goal-guy?? only if you're from long island, try Goal-Gee--NY101 16:38, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
What is your source for that pronunciation, because according to http://www.infoplease.com/ce6/people/A0821208.html, the guy's name is pronounced with a soft j, so I'd think the organelle would be pronounced the same way.--CallmeNiel 20:47, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
Actually, the Oxford English Dictionary Online lists the entry with a soft j. It's pronounced, according to the OED as sort of the "gol" (from "golf") + "ge" (from "genie") ---> "goljē" [*Mike Duron]
Slightly off topic, but under what circumstances would an operating theatre need to refer to a subcellular organelle anyway? Unless you're talking about microdissection (which is a lab technique rather than surgery)... I tend to use "gohl-ghee" (hard g), but I'd understand if someone used a soft g. - Confuseddave 143.167.134.103 16:57, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
It is definately pronounced goal-gee —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.77.132.89 (talk • contribs).
[edit] In Popular Culture
These "in popular culture" sections can be silly. One Phish song. Does this really belong in the article? Probably one cares about that fact if and only if one already knows it. Oh well.
- Yes, I agree it should probably be deleted, I only had moved it to its own section so at least it is not in the way of the real information. I deleted the section now. -Lost Goblin 18:51, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Golgi Bodies?
Would a cell be able to function without the golgi apparatus? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.248.96.2 (talk • contribs) 22:50, 3 December 2006 (UTC).
- Yes and no to the best of my knowledge. A prokaryotic cell survives without a golgi body, and I'm sure several eukaryotic cells do exist without them (such as red blood cells) however as a general rule it is an integral part of a eukaryotic cell's organelles. -- Serephine ♠ talk - 00:19, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
