Everything you think you know about how to pronounce "aweber" is wrong!...

I was just watching a video of a very well known + respected aussie marketer.
I sat in shock when I heard the way he pronounced "aweber."

I would pronounce it... "AY-web-er."
But he pronounces it... "ah-WEE-ber."

Doesn't really matter -- I just was a little shocked.
The guy is still a genius + puts out great, useful stuff!

Cheers.

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

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

    • yes it's ee-zeen, those who pronounce as ee-zyne is just trying to act cool :p
  • 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.

    • No. He was definitely saying ah-WEE-ber.
  • My dad pronounces it ah-weber and reckons I'm wrong for saying ay-weber.

    I win.
  • You haven't laughed until you've heard an Aussie speaking Spanish.
