How do you pronounce Vineland?

[Donna M]

Is the pronunciation Of Vineland-Apopka said like vine with a long i or short i sound. I thought I heard it with the short i sound.

VINE..with the long I is how I say it. There's a Vineland in New Jersey and we say it VINE-lind

just like grapes on a vine. long i

Maybe it's because I'm from the Boston area...but we pronounce Martha's Vineyard with a short i (vinyahd )

I'd probably say it that way!

We live very close to wine country here in WA. when we do tastings, the wineries say vineyard with a soft "I" (vin-yard). That isn't meant to sound snooty, just that they are "professionals" and that's how they say it lol. I've never heard it said any other way

Funny how words are said differently depending on where we all live!

ETA: so I would pronounce Vineland with a soft "I" just because that's what i'm used to.

I have never hear vineyard pronounced any other way, other than short i.

However in Orlando, Apopka-Vineland road, which I assume the OP was asking about the road is pronounced with a long i.

It's land o' the vines -- like wine (or ivy), not like a vintner who works in a vineyard.

I used to live at Vista Way/The Commons we always said Vine-like Wine never heard it pronounced any other way.

Not to hijack but this thread made me laugh because the city I live in ...Salina... has always been with a long 'I' locally, but in most other areas it's pronounced Sa-leen-as. I always know when it's a telemarketer calling because they always pronounce it with a short 'I'.

I was surprised to see the Title to the thread. I live in Vineland (New Jersey) with a long I! It's a small world after all!
