Let's settle this once and for all: it's Day-oose.

I think Dee-yoos Ex sounds alot simpler... and better.

Dee-yoos is simpler than doos? 2 syllables, one syllable. That's the simplest argument.

Naw. Try not to make it sound like it's two words. Say it like... DEUCE... or something.

Is it possible to pronounce it to someone without getting a strange look. im talking about the second part of the phrase :confused:

Allon on 18/8/2004 at 22:42

Indeed.
The correct pronounciation will also spare you the emberrasing Due Sex dilemma...

NHJ: Same here. Only five years before I dropped it, but I somehow turned into a giant Latin nazi... :confused:

I think I saw Attack of the Giant Latin Nazi at the video store once.

OH NOES!
I've been exposed! :eek:

It's easy to think it's "Doose" when you hear alot of English pronounciations like the movie "Deus Bigalow, Male Gigalo" and stong-bad sayings such as "Double-Deus"... both pronouced "Doose".

Never wonder why someone thinks it's "Doose". Go figure that they've gotten it from somewhere. :erg:

Deus makes sense according to standard Latin pronounciation, "doose" doesn't :)

Yeah, but it doesn't sound simpler :erg:
