Forum:Pronunciation and Salad Numbers

Hello everybody, I am new to this site, so please pardon me from any errors in the writing of this article, but I have a quesiton. The first one pertains to pronounciation, because I've noticed some rather complicated words on this Wiki and I would like to know if perhaps there could be added pronounciation guides like there are on some Wikipedia articles. Take the names for a "Graatagolda-sudex", "Graatagolthra", "Throogogdol", and "Quabinga Bukuwaha" for instance; it is not immediately clear how I should go about pronouncing these, hence the need for a pronounciation key.

The second matter is one of 'salad numbers', as you call them. I am wondering what constitutes a salad number, because if one is to stick strictly to the definition of "A Salad Number  is a derogatory term for a googologism consisting of an inelegant mishmash of existing numbers or functions." then that would disqualify about 90% of the numbers on this Wiki. Take a googleplex for instance, it is a combination of a google and exponentiation, which are already a well-known function and number; a googol-gong is just an extension of a google, and a google-duplex is just a further extension of a google using pre-existing methods. So then, how can I tell if a googologism I have in mind would be considered "valid" or not ?
