Well... it is a person's name after all... and all the people in NYC looked at me REAL funny when I got here and said "grah-do"...

There is only one "correct" way to pronounce someone's name, and that's the way they pronounce it, for your information.

John Grado pronounces his name "Gray-doh" and thus that's the correct way to pronounce his name.

Don't worry mate, I thought the quote was funny, the rest was to other people

Haha, five pages long..

Grado is actually not pronounced grey dough, but blue yeast. You've all been saying it wrong.

 

[yaufei]

I always thought it is grah-do, until i heard someone pronounced it otherwise.

But i still say grah-do.

 

[deathBOB]

Its Grahdo. You have to adjust for the accent.

 

[Kirosia]

If john and joe say "gray-doh" then that's probably what we should say. I still prefer gerardo though.

 

[Roblin]

Genius. I more vote for Gerardo.

Oh, how true!

In June, nothing.

By October, HD580, HD590, HF-1 #392 on order, CMoy, Mint and M3.

I shudder to think what February will be like.

P.S. definitely "Gray-doh" here.

I know it's not pronounced weakly as in Ssen-Hi-Sser, but I don't think Zen-Hi-Zer is totally accurate, given how abrupt the english 'Z' sound is.

Isn't it more like Szen-Hi-Szer?

Heh, just thought I'd add a bit more confusion where it really isn't needed
