It's 100% shibboleth but if you go to Tempe you might notice the locals emphasize the second syllable. Tem-pee, outside of there I have only heard it spoken like Tempy.

Maybe it's due to having actual Koreans around here but Hyundai is kind a lazy middle ground between the Pronunciationbook and this one. hyun-day

One professor spent half a lecture berating us for never being taught about "empty fires", someone finally figured out he meant amplifiers and we finally started the lesson.

I took a class on a Nokia CDMA base station years ago, the instructor was from Mexico City. At one point he was talking about a "vai ess tee ee" the whole class was baffled until he put up a slide with word "Bias Tee". A collective subdued ooohh came over the class with a puzzled look on the instructor's face.

Just to head this question off, A bias tee is used to apply power(separate from the RF) to a coaxial cable to power a mast head amplifier.

So it runs kind of like power over ethernet?

Yeah, and a mast head amplifier is on the receive side, kicking up the signal as close to the antenna as possible.
