Poll: Poll: Correct pronunciation of The Escapist

[The Fork of Truth]

"Ez-cay-pist" is how I say it.

 

[Valiance]

It really doesn't matter. People have accents.

 

[Gunsang]

The correct pronunciation is:

That explains everything!
O.T.:Looks like just about everyone says it es-cay-pist

Sarcasm, eh ?
Well, there you go :

Now you know

Thank you for helping the stupid among us. Hmmmm... Well then, it actually DOES explain everything.

 

[Jezzascmezza]

Es-cay-pist.

I wasn't even aware people pronounced it any other way.

 

[Delusibeta]

"ha!"

Or so most of their videos suggest.

 

[mParadox]

Es-cay-pist

Or by popular demand via videos: HA!!!

 

[C95J]

Es-Cay-Pist

There is no other way.

 

[neoontime]

I pronounce like it says.
Escape+ist=Escapist.

 

[YouShouldDeleteThisAccount]

Man. I think we may have just made the OP feel like the odd one out. Poor guy.

 

[ciancon]

"Hey look at this! Es-cah-pay!! I wonder what that means....it's funny, it's spelt just like the word Escape."

 

[Grouchy Imp_v1legacy]

I laugh whenever anyone says "Wrath" with an a like in "cat" as opposed to the o in "otter".

You do know that 'wrath' and 'wroth' are two different words? Just check the dictionary for that one...

OT: Es-cay-pist. Like in, you know, escape.

 

[Queen Michael]

A month ago I was told it was the escape-ist. So that's how I say it.

 

[lewism247]

Well do you pronounce escape "Es-cahp" or "Es-cayp"

Skip to 1:20.

I think that's how the OP pronounces it.

OP: Es-cay-pist is the correct way to say it.

Yep beet me too it, that is exactly where my mind went to when I read the OP.

heh heh heh.

I need to watch that film again, it was awesome.

 

[Fraught]

My friend always giggles when I mention the Escapist, because I pronounce it "Es-cah-pist" while he pronounces it "Es-cay-pist".

What do you think is correct? (If neither, then please say how you say it)

It's "Es-cay-pist".

Because that's the correct pronunciation. Why? Well, I have a few reasons. First of all, it's the correct pronunciation, and second, "Es-cah-pist" is just stupid, and sounds like you're trying too hard to have some weird, alien accent.

Why not call it "Esh-cah-pist", then? Or "Aesh-cah-pisht"?

 

[YouBecame]

Es-cay-pist: I'm not posh!
Then again I can't really comment, I pronounce scone "scow-n" (scow sounding like snow) whereas everyone else I know pronounces it "scon", as in rhymes with gone.

 

[Marter]

Really? Odd...

It seems like 'eh-skay-pist' seems like it should be the right one... You don't es-kah-p from an angry bear, you eh-skay-p.

"eh-skay-pist" is the way his friend says it, so I do agree with you.

 

[Ruffythepirate]

Wow, so that's pretty much consensus then, huh?

 

[Fire Daemon]

I don't think I've ever seen a poll so one-sided, but what can one expect?

Of course it's es-cay-pist. That's how the word is pronounced. Why would you say it any other way?
