Yeah, there are some exceptions for me, too. If a name is way too long or complicated I'll simplify it or substitute something easier, like, "thingamajig" instead of whatever it's supposed to be, but it's still a pronunciation, even if it's nothing to do with the real word.
Even numbers, I see the shape but I "hear" the pronunciation of the integer or symbol. Joel and I talked about equations because he deals with higher maths all the time and sees each equation as a whole unit unto itself. I can't do that, either. I have to read it left-to-right and then I can start to take it apart.
