I say coo-pon but I'm in the minority where I live. Most of the people I know in my area (Buffalo, NY) say Q-pon. Maybe it's a regional thing, like pop vs soda.
 

I say "Q-pon" because that's how I was raised; however, I know by looking at the word that it should be correctly pronounced as COO-PON, so I'm working on it. Yet, the dictionary states that either pronunciation is acceptable.

Where I live it seems like the younger generation like myself says coo-pon and then the older generations like my senior parents say Q-pon.
 
either way...both are heard with the same frequency around here.

I would say that I most say it is Q-pon, though.
 
Q-pon (my parents were from Buffalo, NY so I think it's regional) but I know it's COOpon to be correct.
 
Just don't call it coopun!!!!!

coo as in a a baby's coo. and pun instead of pon. With all emphasis on the first syllable.
Hate that one!

Yes!! This is me exactly. I try to pronounce everything correctly, even if that means changing how I was taught. Sometimes I might say Q-Pon though. Old habits die hard.
