    Just for curiosity sake ....

    Maybe we all all say things differently ... but really, does it matter or are some people just a little anal ??

    Zavier. Used to be an ABC announcer of that name, that's how he was introduced.

    Yep, Zavier.

    How do people pronounce "Harassed"?

    I say "harrissed" but most people say "harAssed". I note the most ABC newsreaders pronounce it the same as me. (Actually, the older pronunciation I use has the emphasis on har- whilst the new way is to emphasise the -ass.)

    Hi,

    There is a web page where you can hear how is pronnounced in several languages:

    Pronunciación de Xavier: Cómo pronunciar Xavier en Inglés, Catalán, Francés, Valenciano, Portugués, Gallego

    Click to the blue icon closer to "Valenciano", this is how is pronnounced here in Spain.

    That would just create controversy.... or is it controversy?

    I cant klick on any of them - because of how much I've been involved with the cantonese language X is pronounced a bit like S

    so for me spelt phonetically it would be Szavier

    I can never think of Don Key-o-tee independently of Jim Nabors/Gomer Pyle.
