Hello! We need your input!

Roh_Chris and I are debating on the word "status" and its pronunciation.

He says the correct way is "STAY-tis"
I say, "STAT-is"


How do YOU say it?

I just want to put it out there that I speak British English, while she speaks American English.

Oh, and free cookies for everyone who is on my side.

Free cookies and milk and anything you want if you're on my side.

We all know that Roh_Chris cannot cook. Me, on the other hand, can.
