How do you say the word "Coupon" ? Do you say coo-pon or Q-pon?

 

[Hannathy]

I don't see a poll but I say Q-pon

 

[Toad_Passenger]

As someone who has studied french for many years, I say "Coo-pon." Since the root comes from the french word couper (to cut).

 

[Pooh67_68]

I actually say it both ways.

 

[MIGrandma]

I say it Q-pon.

I think this is one of those words like potato/patahto, tomato/tamahto, envelope/onvelope, etc.

Q-pon. It is one of the hangovers from my southern accent that I never could drop along with pen, and ten sounding like pin and tin and "nekkid" I can say all the words properly if I think about it but if I am just talking they come out like that.

 

[mjkacmom]

Okay, I say coopon, but for cumin, I say qmin (I've heard it pronounced coomin on cooking shows).

That's funny. A relative of mine says coo-pen.

According to Merriam Webster they're BOTH acceptable... http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/coupon

I say coo pon, but I've heard it both ways around here.

 

[The Mystery Machine]

I actually say it both ways.

Ditto, so "other" for me.

That is why i started it! I say Coooooopon and df makes fun of me, he claims Qpon is correct. BTW "cooooopon" is in the lead.

You can bet that I showed him that cooopon was in the lead!
Whenever we disagree about how to pronounce things, we always chalk it up to a Canadian vs. American thing (he's Canadian) but I'm glad to see that this is an everybody thing!
