accessories

Alright, here it is, the poll to redefine our lives.

The word is ACCESSORIES.

Is it ack-sess-oh-rees ...

or is it ah-sess-oh-rees?

I know, I know, so seemingly simple yet, trust me ... comment on it and it'll change your life.

definitely ack... who the hell says ah.

To answer Karen's question, I've heard SEVERAL people say it without the hard "K" sound. In fact, some people might comment as such later so try not to be too judgemental.

It is most certainly ass-sess-or-ees... much like suppose-eb-lee... and pee-ro-geee...

Nah, it's ACK! God damn it! ACK I tell you!

The only people who say ahsess--- are the same pretensious ones who also refuse to pronounce the "sck" in schedule. They insist on saying "shedule". Besides, in accessory, there are two "c"'s, how can you ignore two "c"'s?

I'll believe that accessories is without the 'ack' when people start saying 'ah- sess' for access.

Please- I cant stand when people reinvent words with their own pronunciations.

For a poll within a poll, how would you pronounce 'Associates'? Ass-o- shi-ates or Ass-o- see-ates? I hope you'd say the latter.

i am going to have to say ack! i don't think i have ever heard it pronounced "ah." i live in west virginia and they even say it with an "ack." for the poll within a poll - i don't pronounce it either way. i would have to say it ah-so-see-ates. have a nice day!

Huh, a poll within a poll ... I'll bite ... it's ah-so-she-ates as far as I'm concerned.
