Many of you may remember my kil-oh-meter vs. kil-om-eter thread and for some reason this shit fascinates me. So... I was wondering; do you say care-a-bein or cah-rib-ian. Let me know which way you say it and where you are from because this could be a regional thing and these social experiments on pronunciation are intriguing me.

Sparknotes even though its not that long:

care-a-bein or cah-rib-ian
