Poll on the way.

Q=pon

 

[FlightlessDuck]

By default I say "koo-pon", but I have tried forcing myself to "q-pon". It just doesn't feel right.

 

[kimmar067]

....SAY-vingz.

 

[KristaTX]

I'm not sure what determines my pronunciation at any given moment, but I say it both ways.

 

[grafxgirl]

Koo-pun

 

[Disney Doll]

MOre often Q-pon, but sometimes coo-pon.

 

[MM27]

I say koo-pon
Do people that say Q-pon also say words like cougar with the Q sound? Q-gar? Same beginning to the word.

 

[rie'smom]

I say koo-pon. My husband and his family say koo and the pon like "Pardon me but do you have any gray poupon, in the French way.

 

[megsters]

I always enjoy Ron White's comedy bit about "koo-puns" I usually say q-pon, but my mother now loves to say "koo-puns"

 

[Charade]

IMO, it should be pronounce like a "K" sound, not "Q".

How would you say "coupe" (as in a 2 door car)?

 

[L-Harper]

....SAY-vingz.

Exactly how I say it too!

 

[Debi]

I also say Q-pon. I live in an area where both ways are used, so at least where I live, the pronunciation is not regionalized.

 

[scotlass]

Its coo-pin at ma bit.

 

[SookieStackhouse]

I always enjoy Ron White's comedy bit about "koo-puns" I usually say q-pon, but my mother now loves to say "koo-puns"

First thing I thought of!


I generally call it a koo-pon.

 

[DaParkers]

Q-pawn

 

[Mrs.Toad]

I grew up saying Q-pon, because that's how my mom said it, but then I noticed that most other people say koo-pon, and I switched to koo-pon. It makes more sense to me.

 

[seven dwarfs]

How bad is it if you have no clue which one you say?! I have been sitting here for 10 mins saying it and it sounds like both!

 

[cybrkitn]

I say Q-pon. DH says Coo-pon.

"I say to-may-toe, you say to-mot-toe, let's call the whole thing off." Sorry, couldn't resist
