Of course, there's the pronuncation question--is it a "Hell-Ah-Met-ER" or a "Hell-AHM-oter?"
Brass tacks here: this isn't going to change the mnemonic device for remembering prefixes, right? Kelly will still Hurriedly Draw Monkeys or whatever?
As a lifelong resident of New England, I have to say that this is wicked uncool.
