Pronouncing Spinors: A Self-Adjoint QM & GR Example

[Tom McCurdy]

Self Adjoint very nicely gave me an example when QM doesn't work with GR using something called Spinors which define quantum mechanical particles. i was wondering

how exactly is spinors pronounced

Is it like spinners umm like the rims lol :) ?

Sorry for the odd question, I just don't want to sound dumb for my lecture. the dictionary didn't have it when I looked for how to pronouce it.
