19QOS19 Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Saying it out loud I've just noticed I pronounce Amazon (website) as 'ama-zin' but when referring to the rainforest I pronounce it 'ama-zon'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velo army Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Pronouncing amazon as “amazzin ” is akin to pronouncing Adidas as Adeediss. Monstrous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are quite clearly pronounced ‘girrel’ and ‘fillum’, you very northern Englishman. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 Wait, there are people who pronounce Amazon as "Ama-zin"? I swear I've never heard this. Also, I worked in IT for years and never heard Data pronounced any other way than the robot from Star Trek's name., albeit perhaps without the American twang. How else would you pronounce it? "Dah-TAH"? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
