I second this. Everyone I know from Maryland does it. WTF

I hate it when people pronounce it the way you do. Harr-ible? Nah, that's for the birds.

LOL it's the same thing with my name (Harry). You guys pronounce it like it's written "Hairy" or something.

I live in NH, I am going to show this to my friend from Oregon. This is proof enough to me that he is indeed a ****** that doesn't know how to pronounce his home state. It is not Oregin. Everybody from the west coast pronounces it with an I.

more of a haw-rible for me, kinda like how the dictionary.com guy says it.

i dunno man, this one's a reach. i usually will defer to the people that actually live in the place i'm trying to pronounce. to me, yeah it looks like it should be ore-gone, but they say ore-gin, so whatever.

plus it's not like that pronunciation is that much of a stretch. think about the word "simpleton", same -on ending and same -in sound.

yup same here. i hear "dare-in" and rarely but sometimes the even more egregious "dear-in".

I think the first two letters of 'horrible' sound the same as 'hot.' Agree/Disagree?

i agree, but then again if you've read this read, we most likely pronounce "hot" differently as well.

I'm from CT, we probably say it the same way.

Yeah but that guy is stupid.

So how would you pronounce "Harrold"?

Hair-old? lol....

I don't know how to show pronunciation on the internet, but it's NOT like "hairold." The first part rhymes with "hat," at least how I say it.

yeah.. harold is pronounced just like harry.

hair-old is re-tar-ded.

Which isn't pronounced "retahded."

I just went to the packie to pick up some beeahs. Later, I might put some jimmies on my ice cream cause I'm wicked awesome.

Listening to an old Smodcast the other day I heard Kevin Smith mention Craigslist.com and I instantly though Craig must be a name not used in America and that the site was probably founded by an Australian or something.
Then I heard Craig Newmark the founder talk. His clearly American and he pronounces it the same way so my question is how common a name is Craig in the US and how do you say it?

Craig Newmark and Kevin Smith pronounces it Creg. In the UK it a common name and is pronounced Crayg.
Just looked it up on Wiki and the Creg pronunciation seems to come from Manx Gaelic.

I have the same question about Colin Powell how common is Colin in the US and do you pronounce it like he does?
