Hey, it's never too late to learn!
For the record, it's a notoriously controversial name that's spelt and pronounced in innumerable different ways - I pronounce it BOE-DI-
SEE-A, stupid people call me
BOO-DI-CA, and James Ray thinks it's BOO-

Or even spelt
Bo-Bo-Rah'mat'alah-Smithe-Merriwhether-****-Off!.
Facing a murderous queen of europe`s dark ages I wouldn`t even think of daring to claim this as my opinion and blame it on the author of the wiki-article.
P.S.: I found the Uncyclopeida article rather flat, maybe it could be refined by somebody who knows who he is talking about?

The 'old' pronounciation is indeed BOE-DI-SEE-A; however, the current thinking reckons it was actually BOOD-ICC-A. Mr Ray is

IIRC, if you spell it Boadicea it's "Boe-di-say-ah", or if you spell it Boudicca, it's "Boo-di-ca". Bleh.
