I was wondering along a similar lines or debates on how to pronounce "LED." Is it "L," "E," "D," or something that resembles the word "lead?" Maybe uneducated Brits pronounce "IC" is "ick." |

I'm not that old, but I've seen many changes in English and German usage during my own lifetime, and I have to believe that the Internet, and in particular YouTube, are accelerating the rate of change in language. --- End quote --- cApa-sEEtor , you Louis Rossman fans, not that 'capAcitor' rubbish :box: |

Here in the US (Silicon Valley) it's almost always pronounced "L E D" and rarely "lead". |

Yeah uh. Some people also pronounce ARM "A R M" while others pronounce "arm". I tend to be in the first category although I've heard it pronounced "arm" so often that I'll sometimes use it too. But I find it kinda silly. |
