Nothing wrong with calling the PRYons though. We brits have to put up with US pronunciation abuse on daily basis
Some #prion history: Stanley Prusiner combined the words infectious and protein to come up with proin, but didn't like the sound. Then he reversed the o and i to give us prion, pronounced pree-on. All while eating a tuna sandwich.

A pre-existing word pronounced pry-on also not to be confused with the subatomic particles preons (pronounced pree-on).
