Help me settle a debate with Roh_Chris

[shineyourlight]

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?

 

[Roh_Chris]

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.

 

[pwrnJC]

humm....why not ask a person who is part of the Status Quo ! Surely, they would know, or have a reason to care.

 

[melita916]

you're both wrong.

it's stat-us.

lol

p.s. roh never gives cookies.

 

[shineyourlight]

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.

 

[jennymae]

Melita is correct.

 

[Roh_Chris]

you're both wrong.

it's stat-us.

lol

That's because you speak American. Who even speaks American, outside of America?

 

[shineyourlight]

Hey, you you just said stat-is lol

And your point is? Lol. We pronounce it as that.

So, who is correct? Roh or I?

 

[jennymae]

You are right.

 

[shineyourlight]

You are right.

In your face, Roh_Chris.
