Ha, I wasn't even thinking about where the emphasis should be, but, yeah, this is how I pronounce it actually.

This. I didn't pay attention in the original post that the emphasis was on the beginning and end (and as dankrsta just stated, she didn't even mean to ).

I always say it "TEHR-uh MAY-los", but I could be completely wrong.

Haha. Must be purely a coincidence because I have avatars and signatures turned off, so it can't be affecting me. I wouldn't have put my face as an avatar if I had to look at it all the time, either, or especially if others could see it over my shoulder! I just figured my other one might have gotten stale.
