Eh-boo? Or Eh-Aye-Bee-Yoo?

[StillCoughingandLaughing]

How do you pronounce ‘AIBU?’ in your head?

Wuh tuh fuh is just all kinds of wrong so I hope no one says that!!! (Although having said that I guess there’s really no reason to not say the letter sounds rather than their names when it’s just in your head...)

@VenusTiger Absolutely NUB.

In my head it's eh-boo

I pronounce it Am I Being Unreasonable.

Me too.

I’m obviously a bit odd, as I read it as ‘am I be u’!

👁 boo

I pronounce it Am I Being Unreasonable

Me too. This thread is weird.

Eye - boo

Eh-boo

Eye-boo!

I'm surprised there are so many aye-boos. 'ai' normally makes an eh sounds, as in rain, gait, maid.

What are examples of words where 'ai' makes an 'eye' sound please?

Aisle.

I think I got stuck with the eye pronounciation because it mirrors the ‘I’ sound when spoken in full. That’s the only explanation I can come up with as otherwise ai as in rain is the most common by far.

Oh yes - aisle - I knew there had to be one. Any more?

Am I being unreasonable - full thing in my head always!

Yup, full sentence here too. I think the only ones I do shorten are lol, rofl roffle, omg oh-em-gee, & wtf double-u-tee-eff.

Eye boo

Eye boo

Ay-eye-bee-you in my head.

Am I Being Unreasonable if I say it out loud.

I pronounce it Am I Being Unreasonable. 

Me too. It wouldn't have occured to me to ptonounce it au-boo or whatever.

Ay-boo. Can't help myself. Occasionally have to stop myself using ay-boo as a turn of phrase!

@thefemaleJoshLyman

Me too! I have been know to mutter 'lol' as a word when something is mildly amusing but not actually laugh out loud funny too. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Am I Being Unreasonable.

I pronounce it as Am I Being Unreasonable in my head too.

Ay-boo here too!
