Question pronunciation of alesis?
What is the correct pronunciation of Alesis anyway? I've heard all different lingos of the word like ale (as in alcohol) this sis (as in a sibling). What's up? Kinda a dumb post, just curious.

I say Ah-lee-sis.

This chapter 11 thing has got me worried about my keyboard though.
