Quite possibly. But that actually is a name in English and it's pronounced Ree-no, so the mistake (if it is one) is quite plausible.Originally Posted by Shaun
I don't think so. In Japan, the 'Re' would be pronounced 'Reh'. Hence how the vowels sound. There's no stretch sound in Reno in Japanese either, so it wouldn't sound different.That actually is how it's pronounced.
I pronounce it ree-no. I wasn't aware there was any other way of saying it.

That happened to me at times to. Like "piety" and other words.
Also in grade 9 our English teacher used to put our vocabulary words in the chalkboard. That day I came into class and saw the word "bellyache". I never clued into the word, so I broke it in my mind as "bell-yache" (bel-ya-chee) instead of "belly-ache" (bel-lee-ah-khe). I was so embaressed afterwards. The class had a good laugh too, because I just had to say it out loud when I asked the teacher what a "bel-ya-chee" was.
So someone else cant say the three/free thing either? Yay, im not alone!
Raistlin, thats EXACTLY how I used to think they were pronounced..XD
Yes. This lad from my school says my name as "Airr-meh". He's got the full St Helens accent =P
But yeah, its all accents. I find some words difficult to say due to my accent, like Better. I say Better like the "t's" don't exist. "Beh'er"
Shauna knows how bad my accent is xD
Yeah, I can use me own name too, which I AM in fact doing. It's also a real, valid name! So yeah, stop saying that.:rolleyes2
Yes. Well, actually no. I just know how terrifying your laugh is!

Your the one who said "AY"
SURE YOU DON'T!xD I don't laugh like that anymore.Yes. Well, actually no. I just know how terrifying your laugh is!
Your the one who said "AY"Well, 'AYE' isn't that funny a word. I don't see why you had to laugh for 5 minutes!
When i was about 7, one of my best friends was a girl named Amy, so i have no trouble at all with that name, im surprised that anyone can O_o
EDIT: Aye? My friend says that all the time now, its like he thinks hes a pirate (Well, thats what I asociate Aye with, go figure)
I'd never heard anyone say "Aye" before! >_<SURE YOU DON'T!xD I don't laugh like that anymore.Yes. Well, actually no. I just know how terrifying your laugh is!
Your the one who said "AY"
IT SOUNDED SO SCOTTISH
Yeah, he said it right, kinda, as best he can. I tried to make him say it properly, it was impossible xD
XDD I can imagine it now, in a scottish accent
ROFL LMAO
Oh man, xDDD
Try a difference between Geordie and Cockney accents, the pronounciations are different, very different.
LET THE HAMMER FALL
Well, SORRY I'm from Scotland.I'd never heard anyone say "Aye" before! >_<SURE YOU DON'T!
IT SOUNDED SO SCOTTISH
Aye! how true! XDDD
*makes a joke about scottish*
I pronounce things very differently from a lot of people here since I have a cool Queens accent and they had dumb this area of NY accents. They say dog with the vowels pure, but kind of whiny, but I say "Daaaawg" and other words like coffee, Harry, orange, etc.
