The results are in from my Pronunciation Poll. Thanks to those of you who participated. For the most part I am in the majority with you all. I was surprised to see #6 (Caribbean) was an even split. I never knew which way to say the word until the movie Pirates of the Caribbean came out.
I have one more for you. Wash. Do you say "wah-sh" or "wor-sch"?
