You need the "You know you're nearing 30 ....." thread

it is Leg-o South Australia is the only place that calls it Laygo. IT is a Cas-tle not a Car-stle.

Agree with this, S.A. is the only place I have heard laygo. Everyone else pronounces it leg o. As a kid, it was always leg o. But then again, I need a nearing 50 thread.....

Typical of a bloody victorian

Ive lost count the amount of times I've had this argument with my Victorian friends.

They also say Mall with a short "a" where as we pronounce it mawl. I say thats ridiculous.

Do you make a phone call? No, you make a phone cawl. Do you play football? No, we play footbawl,

[CENTURION]

It's Casslemaine to them and Carselmaine to us.

I've been berated multiple times for saying "lay-go" on this side of the border.

I got so sick of it, I looked it up to discover that it is in fact, Leg-o as the Danes pronounce it.

Mel - Bourne it depends where you come from in Victoria. some people will call it Mel-ben or Mel-bin. and meh to the Others I was in Sadelaide long enough to pick up talking like a South Aussie on some things.

[Leaping Lindner]

Pay no attention to the Victorians. Having lived here for 17 years I can tell you they don't speak properly.
FRANCE DOESN'T RHYME WITH PANTS!!!!!!!!

[Footy Chick]

and they pronounce their "a"s like e's, so Mal becomes Mel

Lay-go v Leg-o.

Half the world says Lay-go, the other half says Leg-o.

Tried to get to the bottom of this one quiet drunken night at uni.

Amazingly, no agreement could be reached so we emailed Lego head office in Denmark.

They confirmed it was Lay-go.

Leg-o mob were sore losers...

[Ian]

Half the world says Lay-go, the other half says Leg-o.

Except the Yanks who pronounce it either Lay-gos or Leg-os

When I first met them they were "Nessles" and "Leggo" but that was Anglicisation of the name.
"Nestlay: and "Laygo" are probably correct in the country and language of origin.

Similarly, Hyundai is, I think, most correctly "High-oon-DIE" but Aussies (and Aussie advertising men) cope with "Hee-UN-day" better.

I haven't heard that second option that much.
