Title: Canon
Post by: Kojinka on September 24, 2007, 05:07:38 PM: This has been bugging me for the past few days. How do you pronounce that one word that does not apply to the Marioverse?

Post by: goodie on September 24, 2007, 05:20:08 PM: The same way you pronounce cannon.

Post by: Suffix on September 24, 2007, 05:21:43 PM: I always said "cannon." The American Heritage Dictionary says (kān'ən), and I think that's similar. It's been a while since I learned how to interpret those things.

That phonetic thing would sound like "cane-uhn," but until now I've always said cannon.

Post by: MaxVance on September 24, 2007, 06:11:43 PM: No, the camera company is always pronounced as cannon.

Post by: Shyguy92 on September 24, 2007, 06:33:46 PM: Well what does the word that Kojinka's talking about mean?

Post by: MaxVance on September 24, 2007, 06:58:46 PM: Hint: Mario games don't have one.

Post by: Chupperson Weird on September 24, 2007, 09:04:00 PM: You guys are goofballs and Bird Person is wrong. It is pronounced exactly the same as "cannon".
Title: Re: Canon
Post by: Suffix on September 24, 2007, 09:11:04 PM: Bird Person was only interpreting the American Heritage Dictionary pronunciation.

Post by: Mack_The_Knife on September 25, 2007, 01:22:34 PM: Well...think of something that pirates shot big, cast-iron balls out of at other ships, and you'll know how to pronounce it.

Post by: Kojinka on September 25, 2007, 03:29:15 PM: I've always pronounced it like cannon. I just wasn't sure what the proper pronounciation was.
Title: Re: Canon
Post by: N64 Chick on September 26, 2007, 07:52:23 PM: Shouldn't canon rhyme with Ganon or something? Just a thought.

Post by: Sqrt2 on September 27, 2007, 03:19:26 AM: Which sounds suspiciously like the word "cannon".

I don't know, young people today....

That would be exactly my point.

Post by: Kimimaru on September 29, 2007, 03:07:33 PM: I believe it is pernounced like the word "cannon" would be. I don't see a need for more people to post on this thread.

Title: Re: Canon
Post by: Chupperson Weird on September 30, 2007, 11:23:17 AM: That isn't an opinion, man. That is the way the word is pronounced.
