How do you pronounce Castaway "Cay"?

[nyyankeegirl]

Sounds like a stupid question! I've always pronounced "Cay", just as it is spelled... 'KAY'. We are watching the Disney Cruise Line video right now, and they keep pronouncing it as Castaway "KEY". Can someone confirm??

Definatly KEY, I said it wrong for ages, but then I heard the cruise director saying it.

According to Websters, both pronunciations are correct.

According to Websters, both pronunciations are correct.

I have also heard that both are correct but "key" is used more often.

 

[sbell111]

"Key" as in Key West.

Woody

Wouldn't that be Cay West?

Hahaha, we are in the same boat, DH was laughing at me because I was saying it wrong.

It is "Key" just like Parrot "Key" Cay.

Oh no !!!!! So does KTTW card stand for "Key To the World", or" Kay to the World"?

Oh no !!!!! So does KTTW card stand for "Key To the World", or" Kay to the World"?

 

[justmestace]

The proper way to say all of them is KEY. The reason KEY WEST is spelled KEY (even though it means Cay) is because they didn't want people to call it CAY West. It's the American way to spell & pronounce Cay.

ROFL!!!

I'm glad no one brought up the Palo vs. Palo's debate.

Quite correct... because the 'English' way to spell it would be QUAY (again, pronounced KEY).
