The Ultimate DooMer Posted April 20, 2003 Strangely enough, it's "wad" for me. 0 Share this post Link to post
Nanami Posted April 20, 2003 It's wad, like a wad of chewing gum. It's a big wad of files. Like how some newer programs use pak files. I'm not sure if it's spelled right, but hey. It's a big pack of files. 0 Share this post Link to post

Grazza Posted April 20, 2003 WTF? I'm the only one (of those who have voted so far) who says "wod"? Everyone else says it like "fad", but with a "w" instead of the "f"? 0 Share this post Link to post
DooMBoy Posted April 20, 2003 I pronouce it "wod". Saying it like fad, only with a w instead of an f, sounds pretty gay to me. 0 Share this post Link to post

Grazza Posted April 20, 2003 Hmm, I guess these threads are bound to get messy if standard phonetic symbols aren't used. By "wod" I meant with a short o. [In phonetic symbols, this is "wod", possibly with a short accent on the o.] 0 Share this post Link to post
NiGHTMARE Posted April 20, 2003 According to the dictionary, the a in 'wad' is pronounced the same as the o in 'pot', i.e. 'wod'. And who am I to argue with the dictionary, especially as that's how I say it anyway :) 0 Share this post Link to post
Lord FlatHead Posted April 20, 2003 The 'a' lies somewhere between 'fad' and 'pot'. Waod. 0 Share this post Link to post
Disorder Posted April 20, 2003 It's pronounced as 'what', except the 't' should be pronounced as a 'd', and why was my post removed? 0 Share this post Link to post
AndrewB Posted April 20, 2003 WT_, worst poll ever! I prononce it wod (like wawd), like a wad of chewing gum. YET I VOTED FOR WAD (waahd) BECAUSE THIS POLL IS SO SCREWED UP AND NASTY. 0 Share this post Link to post

NiGHTMARE Posted April 20, 2003 I just realised, isn't this actually Pronunciation Poll IV, not III? EDIT: A search revealed only two other pronunciation polls, but I'm sure there were three. Oh well. BTW, I'm not going to start another thread for this, but how do you guys pronounce 'route' - 'root', 'rowt' or some other way? 0 Share this post Link to post

(besides, that wasn't actually called a pronunciation poll) Re: poll within a poll - I pronouce it 'root'. 0 Share this post Link to post
Sharessa Posted April 20, 2003 Actualy, it's poll # 2352352 because we used to do these things all the god damned time before we got tired of them. 0 Share this post Link to post
