How do you say things?

JMitchell · 30-03-2007, 20:10

Two main ones:

ISO: "eye-so"? "eye-ess-oh"?

Nikon: "Neye-kon"? "Nikkon"?

I say the first two. Maybe I'm nuts!?

eye so and the dark side!!!

JMitchell · 30-03-2007, 20:24

hehehee, at least someone says "eyeso", but still, not sure about your other phrase, but then again, you do shoot C**non.

eyeso and nickon.

karen fiona · 30-03-2007, 21:25

eyeso, and nickon, same thing with nike, do you say niy-ck (hard c) or niy-kee ?

Charlotte · 30-03-2007, 21:29

I say "eye-ess-oh" + "Nye-kon". I think "Nikkon" would have to be spelled like that for me to pronounce it like that

Mind you, with Nikkor I say "knee-cor", which should have a hard "k" according to my earlier-mentioned logic

For Nike I would say "Nykee". Not that I said it very often

JMitchell · 30-03-2007, 22:15

Hehe, I agree mostly with charlotte, although I only say Nykee cos she was the god of speed (or athletics....), and that's how the greeks said it.
I do say Nik-kor though, not nee-kor.

I'm not sure which way I say it now thinking about it some more ... in fact I'm not sure that I've ever said it out loud at all
