Well, the owner pronounces it AY-web-er, and he coined the word. I think I'll go with him on that one.

Oh dear . . . this is really confusing. I heard a big time marketer from Pottsylvania who pronounced it OY flibber. Who do you suppose is right? :rolleyes:

Thanks

Reminds me of people who pronounce "Ezine" as, "EE-ZYNE."

Should be "EE-ZEEN," cuz it's an electronic magaZEEEEEN, after all.

Thanks

He was probably pronouncing it right but you couldn't tell.... Ya have to remember that Aussies are doing everything upside down so stuff comes out sounding funny.

Thanks

It's either neesh or nitch. Depends on where you're from.

The only people who pronounce it neetch are German existentialists.

  Aweber do courtesy calls and they pronounce their business as "Ay-Webber".
  
  "Niche" is Neeshe. That's a given for the sole fact it's closer to Quiche (which everyone loves) as opposed to an itch....

Hmmm, you have to remember that there are two Aussie classes in Australia.

The ones that still use English/Aussie accents!

And unfortunately the Steve Irwin ones, that make Americans think that Aussies are generally stupid, and wrestle crocodiles or Kangaroos, when we get the time!

Apart from hitting the occasional Kangaroo on the golf course, not true!
