eta: lololololol well okay then!
eta2: Also, I feel I should clarify that when talking about bins and bags, I do say it the way which is apparently universally correct.

I have never heard of your pronunciation before. I THINK YOU'RE MAKING IT UP.

[speshope.livejournal.com]

I may have. :( I think it's the dead language student in me. :( There are no unpronounced letters in Old English or Latin, so lumping the 'e' in with the 's' is against my nature. :(

[jubella.livejournal.com]

lol ilu.

[mwestbelle.livejournal.com]

How else would you say it D:

[speshope.livejournal.com]

toe-tez! or toe-tiz when I'm lazy and drawling a bit (like lotus, only with a more z-y end)! IDK. /o\ /o\ /o\

[mwestbelle.livejournal.com]

...that makes no sense bb :(

[speshope.livejournal.com]

Apparently, whenever I decided how to pronounce it in my brain, it made sense to me! :(

[mwestbelle.livejournal.com]

Poor crazy brain :(

[lovesongwriter.livejournal.com]

...wat.

[speshope.livejournal.com]

I DON'T KNOW, OKAY.

[marksykins.livejournal.com]

you're one of those el-oh-el people, aren't you? :D

[speshope.livejournal.com]

NO. I did obliviously mispronounce meme for a very long time though. :(

[happy-coconut.livejournal.com]

I pronounced it wrong for a long time too. That was the Japanese student in me.

[speshope.livejournal.com]

I thought it was a made up internet word for self indulgent things/things that were all about ME. So ME-ME made a lot of sense to me. /o\

[happy-coconut.livejournal.com]

I pronounced it "may-may." You're way is at least more common among those who pronounce it wrong! No one pronounces it my way :/

[speshope.livejournal.com]

That just makes you a unique thinker! :D!

[jubella.livejournal.com]

I do! And I refuse to change it, too.

[marksykins.livejournal.com]

1 syllable like "boats"?
34 (97.1%)

2 syllables like an appropriate rhyming word I can't think of?
1 (2.9%)

CAN'T STOP LAUGHING

[speshope.livejournal.com]

I kind of want enough people to answer that it gets to 99.9% vs 0.1%

[honooko.livejournal.com]

I say 'toe-tez'. :D

[speshope.livejournal.com]

THANK GOD I'M NOT ALONE.

[theashgirl.livejournal.com]

Thank you all for vindicating me before I even got home and realized I needed vindicating. :D

*pets* When in doubt, assume that the people on the net are so damn lazy they can't be bothered to use more than one syllable EVER. Monosyllabism for all!
