Shine, you took that post out of context! Remember, you're only allowed to do that with the Bible.

STAY-tis is the correct way to pronounce the word.
Thank you, Tintin.
Shineyourlight, my pronunciation has been validated by a mod and by an Oz. Your move.
Edited to add: Plus, an American lady mentioned "a dashing British gent with an enticing accent", which I clearly epitomize.

He said we were both right 
Nope.

So seriously living in so many states I have learned that CARAMEL, PECAN, TOMATO, ENVELOPE, POTATO and so on all have different ways to say it depending the region you were born in and first learned to speak in.
I will say a PECAN farm once stated this to me. It is pronounced PEA-CAN when it is on the tree and PE-CAAN when it falls off the tree.
So I am going to go lick the ON-VELOPE I need to mail now! HAHAHAHA
Envelope is actually a French word. It would be pronounced as ON-velope, just like entrepreneur. There is only one way to pronounce it.
So you are right!

Lol it's en-velope, not on-and off-velope As in comparable to the word from which it originates, envelop.
Envelope | Define Envelope at Dictionary.com
1700-10; < French enveloppe, derivative of envelopper to envelop
Envelop | Define Envelop at Dictionary.com
1350-1400; Middle English envolupen < Old French envoluper, equivalent to en- en-[SUP]1[/SUP]+ voloper to envelop, of obscure origin; compare Old Provençal (en) volopar, Italian inviluppare to envelop, Italian viluppo tuft, bundle, confusion, referred to Medieval Latin faluppa chaff, wisp of straw, perhaps influenced by the descendants of Latin volvere to roll
Lolz we gotta be "en/in" the velope to be enveloped, not "on" it lol.
And I would be yet another rebel who says "EN-velope..."
I also say, "EGGS" (rhymes with "legs") and not "AAYYYGGS."
Then again, I'm a Yankee, what can I say...
