Hi. In the UK we pronounce Desideratum as de-zid-uh-rah-tuhm. I trust my phonetics are correct.
That's the way I pronounce it, too, and I'm an USn. Well, with emphasis on the RAH. But maybe that's what he meant by RAA. Welcome the the monkey house.
I like bananas too.
That is the way we pronounce it as well here in the Great Plains.
Welcome.
In the delta, we say daisy-day-ráh-tuhm.
Small marshlands?
A locale?

We pronounce it the same way on Long Island, accent on the rah. Although some folks on the north shore who speak with teeth clenched might add a soft accent on the zid as well.
Desiderata is a poem by Max Ehrmann (1872-1945), a Terre Haute poet/lawyer, which begins "Go placidly amid the noise and haste" and goes on to list the ingredients most desirable in a well-lived life. It is sometimes wrongly attributed to "found in Old St. Paul's church, Baltimore", and was set to music during the 1970s.
Welcome sarahutch. Here's your poem I went looking for after reading your post.
