| jolly | posted 7-Mar-2000 12:32pm What is the point of this survey? |
| they | posted 7-Mar-2000 12:50pm It has the same point as any other survey: To find out what other people do or think. |
| Enheduanna | posted 7-Mar-2000 6:48pm I think I say both, but I'm not entirely sure. |
| quark | posted 8-Mar-2000 5:28pm Aaaahhh! When I first read this I was sure I always said Envelope. Then I read it again and a small grain of doubt appeared. Now it's a huge pearl of uncertainty! |
| Eeah | posted 9-Mar-2000 12:35am You know.. now that I think of it- I say both as well. I'm the same way with "Either" I normally say "I-ther" but there are times when I catch myself saying "E-ther*.. which annoys me. |
| jolly | posted 9-Mar-2000 12:29pm They- When I asked what the point of this survey was, I only wanted to know if the creator had any special reasoning behind it or if they were just curious? I was not trying to be rude. |
| jjg | posted 9-Mar-2000 12:46pm ahn-velope |
| they | posted 9-Mar-2000 1:25pm Jolly: Sorry. I heard someone say Onvelope the other day and wondered how many others say it. That's all |
| jonathan | posted 9-Mar-2000 5:40pm schwa-nvelope. |
| snowmoon | posted 9-Mar-2000 7:16pm I don't speak another language other than English, but I have always pronounced it "Onvelope"... |
| Avocado | posted 12-Mar-2000 3:08am Then there's also the variation of the word which means "to surround," which I pronounce differently from either of those. |
| ILJ | posted 13-Mar-2000 8:34am Avocado: That's spelled differently (envelop). |
| milktree | posted 13-Mar-2000 11:23am en-VEL-op :) |
| figmo | posted 14-Mar-2000 2:33am Using the Associated Press's pronunciation guide, I pronounce it: "AHN-vuh-LOHP" |
| they | posted 14-Mar-2000 8:59am I thought about using actual pronunciations.. but then I thought people might still have their own.. so I decided to take the simple route/roote. |
| jolly | posted 14-Mar-2000 10:54am THEY- IS THIS HOW YOU THOUGHT MOST PEOPLE WOULD ANSWER? |
| they | posted 14-Mar-2000 6:02pm Jolly: yup. |
| magbast | posted 15-Mar-2000 3:09am jolly is your Caps Lock STUCK? |
| jolly | posted 16-Mar-2000 9:44am magbast- I spilt water on my keyboard and some of my keys would not work so thats why I was writing in caps lock. After I got a new keyboard I put the caps lock on because it just became a habit. |
| Fairy | posted 22-Mar-2000 1:43pm Weird the things you people want to know about us. You a little bored by any chance? |
| bill | posted 26-Mar-2000 5:41am ONchilada, ha! but wouldn't that be ONchiladas - I'm always confused by the s's that are added to Mexican food. I'm afraid to order Fajitas, because all I really want is one Fajita. |
| ILJ | posted 27-Mar-2000 10:56am bill: That's not nearly as confusing as how the word "manicotti," when spoken by someone who considers themselves Italian, becomes man-uh-GOT. It does amuse me however, when ordering after someone who pronounces it that way, to order a plate of "spaghet" or "zeet" or "raviol." |
| Zang | posted 30-Apr-2000 2:50am I say "onvelope" if I'm being smarmy. |
