pronounciation

Post by Haych on Sat Dec 19, 2009 11:30 am

right, this is an ongoing battle in my household of how you actually pronounce betta.

i say it as it sounds, betta = better.
someone else says its beata
bro in law says bay-ta as in alpha, betta, delta, gamma

so, if you could spell it phonetically in replies so i know what your on about lol!
