  - I'm really baffled by this. It feels like I am being Punk'd. You all really prounounce "Sarah" with a long "AY" sound? - musubi, pronounciation guide Aug 11, 13:07 4
    - The "Sar" part has always been pronounced like "fair" or "dare" or "care". I've never heard it any other way. -- nm - TWuG Aug 11, 13:09 2

        See, if we were arguing the "ah" part, I could understand, because sometimes it's - TWuG Aug 11, 13:12

  - right, its pronounced like the "a" in "captain". -- nm - TFox Aug 11, 13:06 5
    - Exactly, Which is a totally different sound from "mare". - musubi, pronounciation guide Aug 11, 13:08 4
      - Where did you two learn English, because this is craziness! :-) -- nm - TWuG Aug 11, 13:10
      - okay, so musubi and tfox are crazy. :) -- nm - Andie Aug 11, 13:09 2
        
        I suspect Tfox was just being sarcastic. -- nm - mara Aug 11, 13:09 1
        
        nope. -- nm - TFox Aug 11, 13:10

- *feels left out* -- nm - tRuMaN Aug 11, 12:49 1
  - "mon-key." -- nm - JaxSean Aug 11, 12:51
- It's not ah-MOCKS-ee? -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Aug 11, 12:48
- Correct on mine. b! called me tee-woo-gee, which is funny and I'll answer to it, but "twug" rhyming with "rug" is correct. -- nm - TWuG Aug 11, 12:46
- Because i pronouce Andrea like "Ondray-ah" i want to be call "onnnn-dee". - Andie Aug 11, 12:44 43
  - damn your IM -- nm - zork Aug 11, 13:04
  - for a moment I felt that I really sucked for not knowing the right pronunciation -- nm - Max Aug 11, 12:48
  - Hmm. Well, make it work, Ondee -- nm - Tim Gunn Aug 11, 12:46
  - "Mara" is short for "Marilyn" so the As have to be pronounced the same. -- nm - mara Aug 11, 12:45 39
    - I'm asking samara for a second opinion -- nm - Roger More Aug 11, 12:51
    - oh, Mare-ah actually makes sense to me. (rhymes with Sarah.) - Andie Aug 11, 12:47 35
      - In what world does MARE-ah ryhme with Sarah? (nM) - musubi, pronounciation guide Aug 11, 12:47 31
        
        You don't pronounce "mare" like the first syllable of Sara? -- nm - mara Aug 11, 12:52 1
        
        nope -- nm - TFox Aug 11, 12:55
        
        Mare? Like a horse? Saire-ah. Maire-ah. Like Claire. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 11, 12:50 10
        
        This. (nm) - musubi, pronounciation guide Aug 11, 12:55 9
        
        Which contradicts your own post. -- nm - mara Aug 11, 12:56
        
        riiiight. but that's what you are arguing against. -- nm - Andie Aug 11, 12:56 7
        
        No, I'm saying Mare is wrong, *because* it rhymes with Claire. (nm) - musubi, pronounciation guide Aug 11, 12:58 6
        
        Which is not what Jax is saying. -- nm - mara Aug 11, 13:00 5
        
        I pronounce mare (horse) like Claire. - JaxSean Aug 11, 13:03 1
        
        bah. disregard the IM. - JaxSean Aug 11, 13:04
        
        Taken in conjuction with this post, I think that is what he's saying. (link) - musubi, pronounciation guide Aug 11, 13:02 [Backboard] 2
        
        are you argueing that Mara is 'mah-rah' or that Mare-ah doesn't rhyme with Sarah? Two different points. - Andie Aug 11, 13:03 1
        
        Both! - musubi, pronounciation guide Aug 11, 13:04
        
        Seems like a softer "a" to me. Regardless, because it's still "mah-rah". (nm) - musubi, pronounciation guide Aug 11, 12:50
        
        how on EARTH do you say "sarah." -- nm - Andie Aug 11, 12:49 15
        
        Sah-rah. Mare has the long a sound. (nm) - musubi, pronounciation guide Aug 11, 12:52 14
        
        Wait. That's not right either, it's not "Sah-rah", but it's not "Mare-ah" either. (nm) - musubi, pronounciation guide Aug 11, 12:54 1
        
        I think we've discovered the root of your spelling problems. -- nm - TWuG Aug 11, 12:56
        
        yes, and that's how normal people say Sarah. -- nm - Andie Aug 11, 12:54 11
        
        mare = long a, like "say" or "bay". The "sar" in Sarah has an shorter "a" sound, like "map" or "bat". (nm) - musubi, pronounciation guide Aug 11, 12:57 10
        
        For example a nightMARE, does not have the Sarah sound. (nm) - musubi, pronounciation guide Aug 11, 13:00 7
        
        You've just blown any pronunciation cred you had. Totally gone. -- nm - mara Aug 11, 13:05
        
        Wow. It *so* does the way I've always heard both pronounced. -- nm - TWuG Aug 11, 13:03
        
        but see, it does. -- nm - Andie Aug 11, 13:01 4
        
        You pronounce "Sarah" as "SAY-rah"? (nm) - musubi, pronounciation guide Aug 11, 13:03 3
        
        Nobody said it was like "say." We said it was like "mare." -- nm - mara Aug 11, 13:07
        
        No, both rhyme with dare or pair or care or fair or fare. -- nm - TWuG Aug 11, 13:06
        
        not SAY-ra, but Sare-ah. it's still a long A sound. (sare rhymes with mare, air, fair.) -- nm - Andie Aug 11, 13:04
        
        I've never heard it pronounced that way. I'm not even sure I *can* pronounce it that way. -- nm - mara Aug 11, 12:58
        
        maybe in your world. -- nm - Andie Aug 11, 12:58
        
        Earth. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 11, 12:48
      - that's how I've always pronounced it. -- nm - Callisto Aug 11, 12:47 1
        
        right. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 11, 12:48
      - everyone is taking crazy pills. -- nm - TFox Aug 11, 12:47
    - right. mah-rah. -- nm - TFox Aug 11, 12:47
    - No. You're mar, like bar, -a. - JaxSean Aug 11, 12:47
- and of course, MOO-subby -- nm - Beryllium Aug 11, 12:44 1
  - moo sue bee. Which sounds like a cow taking an insect to court. -- nm - TWuG Aug 11, 12:47
- Also: "POOM-bah" (pmb) "madj" (mandy nee-maj) (nm) - musubi, pronounciation guide Aug 11, 12:43
- how about budice -- nm - Zeitgeist Aug 11, 12:42
- ob-li-kay -- nm - Roger More Aug 11, 12:41

- if it didn't look enough like a chick's name, "REE-gen" isn't going to help the matter. -- nm - TFox Aug 11, 12:41 2
  - REE. REE. REE. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 11, 12:41 1
    - *stabs Janet Leigh in the shower* -- nm - Anthony Perkins Aug 11, 12:42
- dah-veed -- nm - Beryllium Aug 11, 12:40
- MARE-uh -- nm - mara Aug 11, 12:40 1
