  • mee-lee or may-lay?

    i was on melee years ago and i always pronounced it "mee-lee" but a while back i listened to an old trench center episode where concrete schoolyard pronouned it "may-lay".

    so

    mee-lee or may-lay?

    It's a word and it's pronounced may-lay.

          I play a game called Asheron's Call and have been playing it since 1999. In the game there's a skill called "Melee Defense". It was a new word to me so I pronounced it like it looked, Mee-lee. But about a year later someone corrected me and said it's "May-lay" but now I just pronounce it "Mee-lay"

            I know it's supposed to be May-lay but everytime I read it I just say Melee first.

                I dont understand how you can go through life pronouncing easy words wrong. I mean I understand if its a regional dialect thing, but in this cast it isnt. just...FUCKING GOOGLE IT.

                  normally it's /'meilei/ but it seems americans might pronounce the first diphthong merely as an open E /'mElei/

                      I had a fight with Randedl about 6 years ago over this exact same subject. I incisted that it was May-Lay, but he cussed me like a sailor and stuck with thinking it was Mee-lee. I hope he reads this and says something mean. Shows that i got to him.

                          Had the exact same conversation with squaddies when I was on Melee.
                          Yea, it's may-lay, but I always pronounce it meh-lee. Why? Coz the proper way sounds shit.
