How do you pronounce tournament?

This would be a nice topic for this super weird 25 hours of nonstop CBB shenanigans on ESPN2

"Hello, Numminen."

This reminds me of dealing with all the Long Island kids at Oswego State. I blew their minds with my pronunciation of 'elementary school'.

Who knew pronouncing all of the letters in a word was so scandalous

1) ternament

2) torenament

3) something else

#3 but it is a regional thing. People in Syracuse pronounce it N-C-A-A while those in South Bend go with the less popular N-I-T pronunciation.

Ternament is how you say it in Wisconsin.

I agree with you, but we also take a drink at the bubbler on the way to the TYME machine, so I am not sure how much stock I put into how Wisconsinites pronounce things. Of course, I am not sure anyone under the age 35 calls it a TYME machine anymore.

What's a TYME machine?

Thats how i read #1. Or is one supposed to be pronounced differently, like tear vs tur. IDK, but is the country divided geographically, like Or-range vs R-range.

Holy crap, I never noticed it before, but some people definitely pronounce it R-range, that's ridiculous.

When you go to the tournament as infrequent as Clemson does it does matter how you pronounce it.

 

[Orange87]

It's 'TOUR-na-ment'. Just like it's spelled, you heathens.

It's also 'SEAR-a-cuse' and 'ARE-inge', just so we're clear.

 

[Ragman2000]

Ornge, not pronounced as two syllables. Any other way and you're likely a Russian collusion agent.

 

[Shawn91111]

The correct way, #1

What's a TYME machine?

ATMs in Wisconsin were called TYME machines (Take Your Money Everywhere). I received a lot of weird looks when asking where the TYME machine was when I left the land of milk and cheese.

Every time a pronunciation thread pops up, I think of that Tyler Ennis thread.

That was my thread!! It was an honest question!
