Stupid question, sorry... but is it "pimetta" (like pimiento), "pie-meta" or "pee-eye meta?" Or "just pick one?"

... Thanks.

Only Tangent can say since he came up with the name, but I prefer PIMETA with a long i sound, as in pie, or the Greek letter π.

 

[stereth]

I think of it as p'MAY-tuh, kind of like 'tomato.'

 

[tangent]

I have an opinion on this, but I don't think it matters, so "pick one".

I was under the impression it was Pie-Meta, aka...Pie-Mehtuh, yeah, I think that works well...anyway,

, nice uselessness...haha

Silly it is, but wanted an opinion from the people who actually designed it, as well as those who build it (so I can correct people at meets and such... HAHAH (j/k)).

Pie-meta it is, then (gimme a slice).

I like Apple Pie, it's my favourite

, "whaddabout" you??

 

[Gariver]

Sounds like PIMIENTA, which means PEPPER in Spanish!

 

[tommyatkins]

Ok, time for a poll... (mmmm Pie-Meh-ta)

i like a classical greek prononciation pi - meta .

Let's the pi be with us (meta means "with")

"Pie" meta

Well, it will not be of much use since my first language is french and there's only one prononciation possible: it's the one with the "pi" pronouced "pee".

Anyway, it's fun to know how it's pronounced in other languages!

English is an unusual language as far as pronunciations... with most other languages in the same family (French, Spanish, etc) it would indeed be "pee-meh-tah" (like "she met Ra") with an emphasis on the middle syllable. I guess it doesn't matter too much how something's pronounced, if others know what you're referring to...
