(the words after are company name rhyme with the company name in that pronunciation)

orage as in mirage
orage as in porridge

anon as in cannon

All my friends say it like say-gah
But I'm pretty sure its pronounced sah-gah.

i called my praxis' "prax-ees" for a while after i bought them until someone visiting me from tahoe corrected me

is it dal-bell-o or dal-bay-yo(or however you'd spell that silent L sound)

i said on-ep for a while too

dynafit has the same thing going on as dynastar obviously

stoke-lee or stock-lee?

no_steezeIt's not Sega, it's Saga. I like to think that if the company name is an actual word in the dictionary it's probably pronounced the same way, but some like to be sneaky


dang I thought it was pronounced so-gay

oh good. you guys picked it right back up..

for some reason phoenetical(is that the right word?) spelling entertains the shit outta me.

giro's the only one i think i say wrong, "jeeroh"..when i think the rep said it's "jiy-roh"...but that sounds silly to me.
