I know--I saw that, and that's why I did the quiz.  Lots of people find out correct pronounciations, but continue the way that they used to say it, so I wondered what most people said.

Well 'tis true that the thread topic is how do you say it, not what is it actually. You of course can say it however you want in your head or to people who don't frequent the forum, there's nothing wrong with that.

I personally prefer to be correct, but there's no harm no foul.

Anyone know the correct pronounciation of Tom Tancredo's name while were at it?

I've heard Tan-cre-dough and Tan-crey-dough

It's technically Lipe, although nobody including Dave says it that way.  It's been Americanized into Leap.

I used to say "Lipe" until my government professor last year referred to him as "Dave Leap"

I've heard Tan-cre-dough and Tan-crey-dough

I pronounce it the latter way, based on what I know of the likely ethnic background behind that name.

Kinda like Lipe, but with the stress a little earlier in the diphtong. It's a German name.
