    Some words have multiple "correct" pronunciations, but I've been saying it "kaz-uhm" all my life.

    According to Dictionary.com, that's the right way to pronounce it.

    Throwing it down with Ch-asm If I'm correct.

    I'll forgive you if you are dyslexic.

    Do you have problems pronouncing choreography, cholera, chaos or chromosome too?

    Jesus.

    There are both cases, yes. But Chasm is 'Kazm'.

    Lol, most people I asked answered Ch-asm. It just sounds right.

    I do think the silent 'h' is a *****. Like in this case. -.-

    I always pronounced it Cha(se) (org)asm o_o....

    Never knew there there was a silent H =[




    Does it really matter? It's not like people use the the word much. Only time I've seen it so far was the Chasm King of DOMO.

    Ugh, God.
    Pisses me off almost as much as people who pronounce Paladin "Puh-lah-din".
