How do YOU pronounce...

[Footy Chick]

Controversy..

I could have put this in the I need to know thread but I wanted a poll.

Thoughts welcome.

*edit* I hope this doesn't cause too much con-trov-a-see

I'll have to wait till I say it without realising

It's nice to see an individual thread for a change. there's too many topics ending up lost forever in general mega-threads on some boards. Isn't that why we have a board so we can see topics?

It's like we have a general discussion thread on a general discussion board. 29,000 pages of general discussion in one thread.

I remember the days of individual topics when you could find them later using search.

There's some cont-rov-a-see

Edited because I couldn't add the smiley when I posted on my i-phone

First option, which tends to be a more British pronounciation.

Actually, how do people say that - pronounciation?

[Booney]

The first option, influenced by Billy Birmingham and Mike Gibson on The Back Page on Fox Sports News.

[Psyber]

According to the on line Oxford Dictionary:

There are two possible pronunciations of the word controversy: one puts the stress on the con- and the other puts it on the -trov-.
The second pronunciation, though common, is still widely held to be incorrect in standard English.

Would that make Con-traversy a desired option for the poll?

[Johno6]

i just realised im option 2

[Lightning McQueen]

Issue.

[dedja]

So we now have 3 sub polls under the main poll?

[Dirko]

Incorrect, rhymes with Punt, except wth a 'C'.

Hooray!
