    Default DIABETES vs. DIABETES

    #eoff is a really weird place.

    Apparently Steve has a foot fetish, which led to us discussing feet, and foa telling us not to google 'diabetes feet.' Which led me to create this poll, because my mom and I always fight over the correct pronunciation.

    die-uh-bee-tees

    or

    die-uh-beat-us

    ??????????////

    It is never the latter. Ever. That is actually wrong.

    :monster:

    Die-uh-bee-tees is the correct pronunciation but I usually end up saying die-uh-beat-us thanks to spending way too much time on the Internets.

    Man. One of my lecturers at uni - an endocrinologist, of all things, which just made it worse - legitimately used "diabeetus". It hurt. Every time. And he talked about it a lot, being a damn endocrinologist. xD

    More of a foot phobia. Let's be honest feet are vile disgusting things good for walking and kicking Paul in the balls with.

    Um the last option because it's HILARIOUS and that's how I'm going to refer to it from now on.

    Duh.

    I was so determined to press the former as quickly as possibly that I didn't see how funny the last option was.

    My brother has type-1 (so does most of his mother's family) so I like to say "diabeetus" just to bug him.

    "Diabeetus" is correct if you're Wilfred Brimley. For everyone else, it's the former.
