@iTempo: well thanks. Lol whatever it's just a word. I pronounce various things wrong, like "cum-ar-shull" instead of "cum-er-shull".
@iTempo then don't be ignorant and assume I think there's only one way. I thought there was only one way until this thread because I had NEVER, EVER heard someone pronounce it otherwise. Didn't even cross my mind that there could be another pronunciation, because like @LowWillpower said, I don't hear the word that often.
[quote=fradddd]@LowWillpower: these people are freakin' wrong. Lol. I don't know what to tell you, nobody in real life pronounces it bah-sil. Well, I just never knew anyone would ever pronounce it as ba-sil, or bah-sil. That's a new concept to me.
Whatever. I guess "bay-zul" is just the American pronunciation, but most of Basilmarket is from the U.S. so how come this thread isn't full of bay-zuls.[/quote] A girl from the US said it both ways, another one said it the "wrong" way only.
I think it's even more regional than that. That's just how it works though. I'm sure I pronounce some words pretty weird, but wouldn't notice because of how common it is where I live.

Bay-zul. That's simply how "basil" is pronounced. It's not some made-up word, it's a spice, and it's pronunciation is already established.
But apparently Asian people and other accents sound like they're saying "bah-sil" or "beh-sil" because they can't pronounce it right.[/quote] Bah-sil is a proper way to pronounce it. So is bay-zul.

Bay-sil but I'm certain that's incorrect. Force of habit though.
Also I just got pee in my eye send help and don't ask how
Pronounced it bay-zil for the longest time... then started chatting regularly with Syko, who pronounced it 'bah-zil', so I started saying bah-sil.

@fradddd: How often do you hear people say that word though?
@LowWillpower: I have only been to like 13 states and that's it, but I've never heard it pronounced bah-sil.
Look up the International Phonetic Alphabet for the word "basil".
