Pronounciation (I know, seems dumb) romegta wrote on 1/30/2004, 3:57 PM But my coworkers and I have been wondering what the proper pronounciation of the product "VEGAS" is. A) Vay-gaa or B) Vay-gas (like Las Vegas) Please explain how you know your answer, because I wonder if we're the only ones unsure..... thank you for your input. Back to post

Gary Spot|DSE wrote on 1/30/2004, 4:36 PM In Mexico, Spain, Guatemala...all places I've trained folks, they call the app "VAY-Guh, like the star or the playwright. But as Gary says....it's Vay-gus. Like the city.

Then again, Vegas is a very artsy piece of software and Degas was an artist. I don't recall anyone pronouncing his name with the "s". GaryKleiner wrote on 1/30/2004, 9:16 PM > Degas was an artist.

Yep, vay (like "bay")-gawz like "mouse" but with a "z". FuTz wrote on 1/30/2004, 9:32 PM ... could be vee-gus too... DataMeister wrote on 1/30/2004, 10:05 PM Well the brightest star in the constellation Lyra is spelled "Vega" and prounounced Vay-ga. I would say that it would be best to pronounce the "s" in Vegas, just to keep from getting the two confused. JBJones Spot|DSE wrote on 1/30/2004, 10:26 PM Well...the brightest star in the constellation NLE is Vegas no matter how you pronounce the damn word. craftech wrote on 1/31/2004, 6:23 AM I thought it was "Bay-gaas"......................Ju Know! riredale wrote on 1/31/2004, 9:47 AM In Israel it's pronounced "Oy-Vegas."
