Always said it "dee-cal" or "thing"
 Who cares how to say it, i'm amazed that we are able to go through 4 pages just ranting on about words, I say everything the more lazy way. |

Yeah I'm quite impressed with this thread. I expected everyone to just tell me to shut up and stop asking stupid questions, or the usual "go and do a search for it."

One thing I have noticed between American's and Australians accents is the word "here" After an ad on Cable, it had all actors saying "its all here"... American's: He-r Australian's: He-ya Don't ask my why I typed that...  :finger:

I had a Japanese roommate in college, he confirmed "Ta-mee-yah" as the correct pronunciation. |

:hehehe: :hehehe: :hehehe: Use'to say :deckul Heard a pro modeler say : dee-cal So I just say stickers the hobby shop I go to does some crazy business with tamiya, they pronounce it tuh-mee-ya. I once asked one of the workers if they can special order fujimi kits, and as soon as I said "fujimi", the guy looked at me as if I said " have you ever ate tommato flavored choclate, it was a wierd look, a veeery wierd look. :grey: |
