    I thought it said “arachnonym” and was looking forward to seeing some spider names.

          As far as people likely to say that middle one go, most of Britain would disagree that it rhymes with spider. You might get a crisp T or, more likely, a glottal stop, but not a D sound.

          That said, Aussies are even more likely to use it and they do have some t-d merger going on in some of their accents.
