Dis or Diz?

[Nuchi15697]

Help me settle an argument, Is it pronounced Dis or Diz?

Maybe you should start a poll on the community board. I would say Dis...as in Disney. It's not Dizney.

It depends on where you're from. I pronounce it DIZ'-ney others would pronounce it DIS'-ney. Then again I actually say worsh instead of wash. (No, I didnt grow up in the South. I just have tons of family and freinds that have. It rubs off.)

We had a poll on the UK Community Board about this and I think the majority said DIS

My Canadian east coast upbringing MAKES me say DIZ NEE.

Thats because people in the UK speak clearly and accurately. I wish that I spoke as clearly. Accent and all.

Looks like I'm in the minority; I say DIZ as well. East Coaster too, hmm, is there a connection? :scratch

EDIT: OMG under 20 days... I'm freakin' out!!

DIZNEE Living in Oklahoma, I may just have a strange accent, but I swear when I hear shows say 'Walt Disney' it sounds like 'Walt Diznee'
