    Default How do you say beta?

    Is it suppose to sound like (bee)ta or (bay)ta? Or both is correct? I've been saying it like (bay)ta all my life and I just noticed today that some Europeans have been saying it as (bee)ta. Which one do you use?

    Okay good I thought I was the only one saying it wrong (or correct). It's good to know these things when you're talking to other gamers

    You are my real Prince Charmin'
    Like the heat from the fire
    You were always burnin'
    And each time you're around
    My body keeps stalin'
    For your touch
    Your kisses and your sweet romancin'
    There's an underside to you
    That so many adore
    Aside from your temper
    Everything else secure
    You're good for me, baby
    Oh that, I'm sure
    Over and over again
    I want more

    Guys, it's obvious that it is Bèta. You silly Americans and Britains decided to say ''baytah'', but that's WRONG.

    Alpha -> Bèta, just like the Greek alphabet.

    So give us the correct pronunciation. You can type "Bèta" all day, it still looks like "Bay-tah" to me.

    "Beater".

    Because I can speak all proper like.
    And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear.

    If you type it in there: http://www.acapela-group.com/text-to...tive-demo.html

    The english people pronounce it bee-ta, and the americans pronounce it bay-ta.

    Personally I just say it the french way in my head, never had to actually use that word in real life.

    So the conclusion is bayta, not beeta, not beeeeeeeta, or beerta or beetar.
