OK, I guess I meant (but failed to say) that the "inexperienced users" to which I was
referring are not engineers/programmers/technical types of users.
I didn't want to say that either pronunciation was incorrect. Based on my personal
experience, though, I was able to clearly categorize from what "kind" of user I had
heard each variation.
Didn't mean to offend! You know the old saying about the tomato: (phonic
spellings used for pronunciation clarity) "You say toe-may-toe, I say toe-mah-toe..."
