...and I say sen-SAY-oh.

Actually, it's the other way around. I've been pronouncing "Senseo," the name of the fancy new coffeemaker from Philips, as SEN-see-oh. However, last night I saw a commercial for the Senseo where the sultry-sounding woman with the Euro accent kept calling it sen-SAY-oh.

How have you been pronouncing it? Or should we just call the whole thing off??

I've been saying Sen-SAY-oh, and I think I heard it somewhere.

That's almost as bad, Bob, as I did on UNIDEN. I went in the store and asked for yew-nigh-den and found out from the clerk that it's YEW-ne-DEN.

Oh, well, what's in a name, huh?

Sheesh... they might be able to sell Douwe Egberts stuff for a high price with that pronounciation but they'll never get Americans to pronounce it that way!

Helen, do you drop the EGG on the Douwe Egberts?

It seems to slip somewhere - Dow-aye (Douwe) Beart (Egberts)

Seems the French dropped an egg somewhere there. Interesting. Thanks.

ps I liked your Dewy-Egg one best.
