to think 'AIBU' is pronounced 'Aye-boo' and NOT 'ay, eye, bee, you'?

[CaptainNancy]

Well am I?

Surely there cannot be a MNer (not even lurkers) who don't say 'Yanbu' as 'Yanboo'?

Totally correct on both counts in my opinion, Yan-bu

NOT B ING UN RIZNBL

YANBOOOO

In my head I actually say it in full even when I write YANBU/YABU. I have never considered saying yanboo or yaboo until now.

Eye-byew but hoo cairz?

I say ay, eye, boo and yan-boo

Shouldn't this be in Chat?

Yaboo.

Yan-boo, of course it's Aye-boo.

Yanboo. It's obviously Yaboo, and Yanboo!

I say Aye like Eye. Surely it's not Eyeboo but Ayboo

Yanboo and yaboo is correct though (in my head at least)

Ah redblanket- but how do you have time in life to say that (even in your head )?

Another one who always says it in full when reading it in my mind or out loud for that matter.

So you are being unreasonable

I'm with harecare - I say it in full in my head when reading it.

Yabu.

I say it in full too.

I see Yarboo, Yanboo and Ayeboo.

I also see Eyeswim (IYSWIM)

Nooooo it's ayboo

Like aych (H)

Nancy - too much time on my hands obviously

Obviously I don't actually say it out loud though.

Another one here who says it in full :)

I'm with harecare etc., but I've haven't been here long so mebbe, IABU.... but yeh thanks, now in my sleep instead of mumbling 'I'm being unreasonable' I shall be sounding like some bloody ewok.

(I sleep talk a lot, hence every boyfriend I have every had is called darling)

I say the full length version as well with the emphasis on reasonable/unreasonable

Aye as in the opposite of nay.

Another who says/thinks the full think

A lot of these post read like they are in Martian!
