Om-mega or O-mayga?

[TonyHetherington]

A question of pronounciation, if I may?

Much like the Porsche brand, I hear different pronounciations of 'Omega' and wondered, simply, which is the correct?

Is the homeland pronounciation the one to go for, or perhaps have we adopted in the UK a lazy way of saying it?

So, which is it; Om-mega, or O-mayga?

[HereBeMonsters]

I tend to go with "oh-megga".

[andy_s]

Ohm-iga?

[TonyHetherington]

Well that's cleared that up, then

[andyroo]

Oh-mey-ger

Can't stand oh-mee-ger, sounds all wrong!

[WreckedGecko]

Its Oh-may-gah, I find the omh-mega really annoying. Like people pronouncing Cobra as Cob-rah.

[andy_s]

As in 'Alpha to Omega' then.

[Ikemi]

I've heard TAG Heuer pronounced TAG 'Hue-er', rather than the correct TAG 'Hoy-er' ...

'O-may-ger' here

[corporalsparrow]

Oh-meh-ga for me.

O-may-ga sounds much too poncey.

Besides, if Oh-meh-ga was good enough for James Bond it's good enough for me.

aww bks... with my order for the Railmaster off in the post...

I now have to worry about my pronounciation, there was me with my O-may-gah!
