2007-11-15, 4:01 PM #1
I always thought everyone pronounced it "wick-eee", until one of my friends said "week-eee".

Who do I pronounce Wiki?!? No one...

If it's the full version, it's Wicka, if it's short, it's wicky.

Yes, or Guild Wiki. Either one is good if you have no actual reason to live.

...Guild Wars doesn't have a subscription fee so you can still play the game without having to give up your social life.

Your friend deserves pain. A short slap across the face should be enough if he/she doesn't persist.

I say it like Weird Al does in "White & Nerdy", so it's wicka(pedia).

Tiki is pronounced tee-kee, so that's where I get it from.

When it's the full name though, I tend to use both.

Edit: Apparently both are correct: http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/wiki

wick-ee? Are you frikin' kidding me? It's weekee.

Oh yeah, but if you're pronouncing wikipedia it's "wickeepedia". But alone it's definitely weekee like CM said.

I pronounce Tiki as Tick-eee anyways - it just feels more natural.

I AM A MIGHTY TIKI. NOW BRING ME MY TEA.

I find it vastly annoying when people say "wiki" in place of "wikipedia". ie. "I looked it up on wiki"
2007-11-16, 7:19 PM #35
wick eye
Take that there and put it in here
