A.H.I. (Ay-Aych-Eye). I thought it was really weird the first time I had a collector refer to the company as Ah-Hee in 1990, (as if it were named after the tuna fish?), and odder that I still hear it on occasion 20 years later. I know the company was Azrak Hamway International as a kid, and it never occurred to me to pronounce it other than as initials.
Mego I always knew as Me-Go, but one kid insisted on Meg-Oh, even after the commercials.
Glad you brought it up, thanks.Leave a comment:

I always pronounce Cipsa as siss-pa
I know it's wrong, but it's how my mildly dyslexic brain first read it and it stuck.Leave a comment:

I always pronounced it "Me-Go" growing up. Never thought of pronouncing it any other way. Then, in my late 20s, I heard it pronounced "Meg-O" by another collector. For the first time in my life, I wasn't sure if I had been saying it right.

As a kid, I pronounced it Meg-Oh. Didn't realized until I read in a magazine as an adult that it was Mee-Goh... as in "Me Go".Leave a comment:

And I don't care how incorrect it may be,... we all grew up around here pronouncing it 'May-Goh'.
It's more fun that way.
