All my friends say it like say-gah
But I'm pretty sure its pronounced sah-gah.

Maybe it's a just a Buffalo thing.


Your friends are retarded ha

I'm pretty sure kastle is pronounced kest-lee, and giro is pronounced jyro.

i called my praxis' "prax-ees" for a while after i bought them until someone visiting me from tahoe corrected me

is it dal-bell-o or dal-bay-yo(or however you'd spell that silent L sound)

i said on-ep for a while too

dynafit has the same thing going on as dynastar obviously

stoke-lee or stock-lee?

no_steezeIt's not Sega, it's Saga. I like to think that if the company name is an actual word in the dictionary it's probably pronounced the same way, but some like to be sneaky


dang I thought it was pronounced so-gay

oh good. you guys picked it right back up..

for some reason phoenetical(is that the right word?) spelling entertains the shit outta me.

giro's the only one i think i say wrong, "jeeroh"..when i think the rep said it's "jiy-roh"...but that sounds silly to me.
