How do you pronounce "Graham"?
2005-08-11, 8:53 PM #1
Stupid thread this is but answer you must.

Do you say "Graham" as in ("Graham Crackers", Graham Chapman", etc.) as:

1) Gray-uhm

or

2) Gram

Post away your meaningless answers!!!

Gram, for the most part, but with a softer and more drawn-out 'a' sound.

My Physics professor was Dr. Graham Oberem so I heard his first name a lot.

Gram
Code to the left of him, code to the right of him, code in front of him compil'd and thundered. Programm'd at with shot and $SHELL. Boldly he typed and well. Into the jaws of C. Into the mouth of PERL. Debug'd the 0x258.

Speaking of silly British English, the folks at Bit-Tech.net always use collective nouns improperly. It's always "nVidia have released a new card..." "Microsoft have come out with a beta of..." god it drives me nuts. It's *HAS* you idiots. You don't say "My family are going out of town this weekend", you sound like a god damn moron. It's not British English so much as stupid Britons.

"Is released a Video card" is incorrect.

If it were releasing, then you'd use is...

Graham backwards is "Ma-harg."

Think on that.

it's Gray-uhm, since that's how everybody I know called Graham pronounces their name (and it's quite a few people).

Why Gram? It says Graham, not Gram. You killed two innocent letters! :(

Now, if Gram was the short form of Graham, that would be fine with me. That is, if Graham doesn't mind.
Sorry for the lousy German

... the fact of the matter is, that I'm always correct in whatever endeavor I choose to partake. In this case, the homosexual comedian Graham Norton backs me up. His pronunciation of his name is GRAM. As such, I'll choose the opinion of a gay guy - who likely could cut my hair to satisfaction - over that of you incompitent squealers. ;)

and we have him on tv all the time, and he pronouncs his name "gray-uhm" or "gray-em" if you say it slightly less southern. so I can only conclude that you all prounced "gram" as "graem", which is just about possible given the way you generally avoid using the hard "a" sound.

no no no... The A in Graham (pronounced Gram anyhow) isn't softened. It's just Gram. like Bad... it wouldn't be Baed. just Bad. Graham rhymes with Damn.

I used to date a girl with the last name Graham, and she would say that you all have too much time on your hands.
2005-08-12, 8:08 AM #38
Meh, if every Graham I've ever known (including my own Dad) has called himself "Gray-um" I think I'll stick with that. Why have the fancy "aha" bit in the middle if you're just going to pronounce it "gram"?

And you killed one, which is fortunately only half as bad. ;)

Those examples are incorrect, though in British English you sometimes do say "The board have..." It's my understanding that when referring to a group of people (a board, a company, etc.) doing something as a unit, then you can say is, ie "The team is doing their task well." If they are in dissagreement, you can use the plural form, ie "The team are having dissagreements." This works, because you mean "The team members are having disagreements."

I'm not British: Gram.
