glad you felt the need to register to comment on this.. I considered posting a similar comment but was going to make it a poll. Not sure how/where Jeff got the pronunciation he uses but it's interesting.

You can't spell earth but you feel the need to correct out people say things?

dunno...it's rather diabolical.

[taozoo4u]

they also pronounce the title to Ratatouille incorrectly

[darknessgp]

Yea, it is kind of annoying that Jeff pronounced it wrong. I could understand if it wasn't for the fact that Diablo is a big name series. It'd be like pronouncing "Star Trek" as "Star Track"... oh wait, lots of people do that.

dunno...it's rather diabolical.

If Jeff got it from that, i.e. assuming the pronunciation. Then that just means Jeff was never into the series or even heard anyone talk about it, ever.

[urthmover]

:-) and what is "correct out" is that like Wite-Out?

It is usually more sophisticated to use the diphthong, which is the choice I made.

Corrected, I won't make the mistake again. Thanks, guys.

Just dont start on how Dan pronounces coupé (http://revision3.com/forum/showthread.php?t=19126).

We all had a laugh over this in the irc.

Ut oh, you still have a dangling participle.

It must suck to have everyone hanging on your every word ready to point out minor mistakes.

There is no bad publicity, right? =)

I find it strange that someone would use their first post to point out the odd way Jeff pronounced Diablo, but it's no stranger than anything else that goes on around here.

[krypt]

i noticed it but i didnt think anyone would care enough to start a forum thread or dare i say it, email him

[msmags]

Ok, Ok, I noticed it too. But Jeff's huge biceps distracted me nicely. ;)

[inertianinja]

+1

it was driving me nuts too.

Tom eh toe, tam ah toe; po tay toe, pa tah toe; dee aww blo, die ah blo.

[esophagus]

To give a voice to the minority (as if Jeff wasn't a fitting voice) I pronounce it wrong to. I won't now. But I always did.

[ryudo]

How many of you say Anne Frank or Notre Dame in the typical American way or the proper way?

[urthmover]

On Fronk?

Tom eh toe, tam ah toe; po tay toe, pa tah toe; dee aww blo, die ah blo.

eh, it's cool Jeff. The thing with me was not just that it was wrong, but it was just slightly off. Next time you want to be sophisticated, make it more evident... though I think if you had with diablo it might come out sounding like your a hick.

Thanks.. I didn't notice that, haha.

Yes! "When in doubt, picky out!"

[nyrock]

I noticed it too but thought it was a west coast thing. Either way I didn't think anyone would care
