Poll: Poll: Correct pronunciation of The Escapist

[IkeGreil29]

My friend always giggles when I mention the Escapist, because I pronounce it "Es-cah-pist" while he pronounces it "Es-cay-pist".

What do you think is correct? (If neither, then please say how you say it)

 

[Marter]

I pronounce it the same way your friend does.

 

[NeedAUserName]

Es-cay-pist, you know, how its actually pronounced.

 

[Snarky Username]

Well do you pronounce escape "Es-cahp" or "Es-cayp"

 

[ClassicJokester]

Ummmm, It's pretty definitely "Es-cay-pist", as in, "one that escapes".

In other news, "The Escapist" now looks completely wonky like words do when you think about them too much.

[AvsJoe]

S-K-Pissed.

 

[MikailCaboose]

Es-cay-pist. Dictionary for that one.

 

[Phlakes]

Um, it comes from the word "escape". So I pronounce it like that.

 

[Nevyrmoore]

Hmm, I seem to pronounce it es-cape-ist.

 

[SonicKoala]

Es-Cah-Pist? No...just, no, that's totally fucking wrong. Accent or no accent, that is not how you pronounce it.

 

[superbatranger]

Well, OP, looks like you're the only one that pronounces it es-cah-pist. I, for one, say it like es-cay-pist.

 

[BuGGaTon]

I laugh whenever anyone says "Wrath" with an a like in "cat" as opposed to the o in "otter".

Escape-ist. (Es-Kay-pissed)

You are from England aren't you? Otter is the British pronunciation whereas Cat is the American.

 

[WarriorFH]

Escape-ist. (Es-Kay-pissed)

pretty much this. I would rather have a thread asking how you pronounce HSLAN.

 

[subject_87]

It's 'es-cay-pist', as God intended.

 

[lewism247]

Well do you pronounce escape "Es-cahp" or "Es-cayp"

Skip to 1:20.

I think that's how the OP pronounces it.

OP: Es-cay-pist is the correct way to say it.

Wait, what?

On topic. I, like everybody else in this thread is, cay.

Edit.

You are from England aren't you? Otter is the British pronunciation whereas Cat is the American.

Well I was born and raised in the UK and I say wrath ... what the hell is wroth?

Another edit. There both words, just learned something new.

 

[Talshere]

Escape-ist.
