I like these "how do you pronouce...." topics!
Personally, I would say "Tella-seen" Bill Gates, or rather his text-to-speech wizard, would say "Tella-sign" Looks like another one of those that noone will ever agree on. |

I'm with you Dan. It's amazing how popular these seemingly irrelevant topics can be.
Here's another one I just learned - in the US we say - "I got a raise at work" - in the UK it's "I got a rise at work." It was in the script we just completed and we had to hold back our chuckles. By the way, it is "tele sin ne" as in "Cinema" as it has already been established. |

It confuses me too much having to re-learn all these words AND remembering how to spell "independent" (see VX forum).
I think I'll keep to saying it my way for now ;) |

Ozzie,
I hadn't heard that one before, depite business travels to the UK. Here in the U.S. getting a "rise" at work is grounds for criminal charges.

Ozzie's version, 'tele sin ne' is starting to sound Japanese. When you consider the number of different places everyone is from it's no wonder there are so many versions.

cinesite (the company), cinestream (the software), cinefex (the magazine), cinema, or just cine....all pronounced with a distinct "sinny" sort of pronounciation...and i've never seen anyone debate those!
datacine and telecine both have the same "sinny" pronounciation as well. some people tend to think the e is silent i guess, but in my experience, like all the other cine words, it isn't!

Or at least grounds for keeping your job. |
