Do you say v-EGG-web or v-EDGE-web?

Ok, so, at vegfest i discovered that underSARAH pronounces vegweb as v-EGG-web where as I say v-EDGE-web. And last night i discovered that llg says v-EGG-web as well. Before, I hadn't even considered that pronunciation. So I was just wondering what everyone says.
p.s. I don't think there is a right or wrong way to pronounce it, I'm just curious to see what the majority is.
:D
oh I vote vEDGEweb...
also how do you say "vegan"
i say "vee-gen" but i've heard people say "vay-gun"
it's vee-gen right?
veegun (i think that's what you meant by vee-gen, right?)
another argument for vedgeweb:
there have been two instances where vegweb was referred to as 'vagweb'. clearly, this would be pronounced vadge-web, so 'vegweb' should likewise follow.
oh I vote vEDGEweb...
also how do you say "vegan"
i say "vee-gen" but i've heard people say "vay-gun"
it's vee-gen right?
Yes.
However - everyone I know who isn't one, pronounces it like is is some horrible genetic syndrome, aka "vay-gun".

i know what you mean! one of my relatives says it like that... it kinda makes me want to sock him in the face :)

YES! I know how you feel.
One of my cousins specifically says it like that with a particular air of disdain on the second syllable. I have considered clocking him upside the head with the grammar textbook of STFU.
it's vEDGEweb, like vegetarian or veggies*. If it were like "vegan," then it would have to be veegweb.
*or do you say vEGGies, uS?
Yes. This.
ha, for a second there I thought you were saying 'yes this' to 'vEGGies'! Ha!
Yep, totally vEDGEweb.
Although I quite like the name vagweb.

wow you're awesome! i swear... on xmas people were being super i-wanna-punch-you-in-the-face annoying... you know the typical "i'm gonna sneak meat into your food, do vegans eat chicken, etc BS... I had just finished reminding everybody what vegan is and how the word is pronounced when my asshole relative uttered "vay-gun" about 5 minutes later... ughhhhh... didn't say anything but a bitch slap would have felt nice :)
on a brighter note, i persuaded my step mom and dad with books and videos how nasty eating animals is... so vegan holidays and dinners are now officially at dads house... woot woot!
:>
Dejavu... same on the Christmas stuff. I swear I spent half the evening explaining what was and what wasn't an animal product. That and having aunt's stick ham in my face and say" Doesn't that smell so good? Here, try just a little bit!".
Honestly, I love my family, but holiday's are a little tiresome when it comes to food. Congrats on convincing your family to go veg. Major props to you. I haven't managed to convince my family of anything yet. :P
Saaaaaayyyyy... since you are so talented, are you doing your veg convincing speech for hire? I have got this great, and I mean great family who are a little... backwards...

Or, as I have said before, if your primary languages are French and Spanish. Then it's "vay-gun." Vegano--vay-ga-no. It's more important to know what a word really means than how to pronounce it "correctly", given regional differences. Tomayto, tomahto.
(And, if you really want to know, "vee-gan" sounds like some kind of critter from another planet. So there. Oh, no--wait--that was Vogon.
Never mind.)
hmm. wouldn't the french-y way be vay-zhun? like végetalien/ne?
i think if someone said "vayzhun" to me, i wouldn't even realize what they were saying.
I get vay-gun a lot.
VEDGE-web, because I don't want anything to do with EGGS! :)
MY WORLD JUST BROKE..........
I didn't know there WAS another way to pronounce it..... I say V-EGG-WEB....because that's how it's spelled.
My life hurts now......
YES THANK YOU FUFU!
You're right so don't worry.
I can't believe this!
yeah, i'd think if anything, the alternate would be veegweb, like vegan instead of vegetarian.
instead it's... vague-web?
hey. we should see what WML says.

She says it the correct way!!
Do you all say VEGGnews?
Yes. Its vEGGnews.
Omg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is out of control. :oh:
so...
vEGGsource
vEGGcooking
go vEGG
vEGGdining
vEGG out
wait. what *about* "veg out"?
e.g.
"so, what are you doing tomorrow?"
"just veg out."
"what are you doing today?"
"veggin' out."
are those both vEGG out and vEGGing out?
I've never said veg out or vegging out. Lol.
I think I'd say vEGG out and vEDGEing out. Idk.
The whole list sounds right though.
