  - 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
