These seem like small problems. You should hear/read the mispronunciations/misspellings I have to deal with in white collar land. Makes me wonder why I went into debt for a college degree when I clearly could perform on a higher level than these idiots after eighth grade.

there is nothing wrong with saying it like this imo

just because you relate it with that old dude with the mustache doesn't make it any less correct

also di-uh-BEE-TEES after saying it a while sounds just as stupid


I just try to avoid saying it, cause up until recently I said it like most everyone else says it

but it seems more professional to say it dia-beetus, since it's not spelled "diabeetees"

10/6/2012 1:16:21 AM

it comes from the Greek for "passing through" (roughly pronounced "dee-ah-BEY-teyss"), and following the pattern of the Great Vowel Shift, the Anglicization is "dai-uh-BEE-teez" even though the transliteration doesn't quite look like it

10/6/2012 2:26:23 AM

well Greeks were gay

is my response.

^^That's about my opinion too

it's why those fuckers at the BBC pronounce our President's name as "BERR-ick oh-BAM-ur" and Nintendo's mascot as "mary-o"

You might find it interesting that Nevada was brought into the Union at the outbreak of the Civil War on account of the vast amounts of silver therein.

How do you say it?

10/6/2012 8:01:07 PM

The pronunciation of mozzarella comes from its Italian origin (ultimately the diminutive of a word for "cut off" or "docked"), while the main pronunciation of pecan is in fact "pe-KAHN" (from French pacane, from Illinois tribe pakani).

10/6/2012 10:56:01 PM

just wanted to point out that the proper pronunciation is BROO-SKETTA and not BROO-SHETTA

10/6/2012 10:57:54 PM
