Bagel = BAY-gle or BAA-gle?
C. Camel on Feb 2nd 2010
I say to-may-to, you say to-mah-to. I say po-tay-to, you say po-tat-o…And, hey, that’s okay with me. However, I say bay-gle, and if you say baa-gle, mark my words, I will not call the whole thing off. I’m not that forgiving. I don’t like baaglers. I also don’t like shed-ulers (for schedule) and q-ponners (for coupon) . Starting today, I’m cracking down by cracking the heads of baa-glers.
Anyway, I was going to write some more on this subject, but I need to grab a cold refreshing glass of malk.
Are you a baa-gler or a bay-gler? Any other pronunciations that drive you nuts? Do some countries/cities/regions say one over the other?

LIE-chee or LEE-chee?
That’s easy.
Megan==May-gen or Meg-an
Meg-aners! hit the dirt!
@Beejeweled – I think I say LIE-chee, but it’s not a word I use very often, so if I’m wrong don’t kill me.
@pubgirl29 – Meg-aners will be put to death. New law starting …. NOW!
My brother in law pronounces ‘vague’ as ‘vag’
Drives me up the wall.
