Tell us how to pronounce it ffs
- I’m an idiot an breezed over it.
  
  “tla-hut-um”
  
  Gonna be a hard one to catch on in my honest opinion.
  
  Thank you. I couldn't find it in the article.
  
  I am not opposed to renaming parks, but I don't really like using characters that nobody knows how to pronounce in a name.
  
  I am guessing people will continue to call it colony farms.
