Stupid question about pronounciation
Settle it for me please, because I've heard it both ways:
Is Goudey pronounced "goo-dee" or "gow-dee?" |
#2

|
|||
I always thought it was Goo-day but I don't know why.
|

||||
|
||||
It's Goodee in Canada.
|
#4
|
||||
|
||||
I've always said goodee... But I hear a lot of people call it Gowdee?

I've always said Goo-die but I hear a lot of people say Gow-die.

Oh goodness. I've poured my heart and soul (and wallet) into collecting both the 33s and 34s, and if I have been mispronouncing the set name all this time, that sucks.

It was always goodee in my head until I went to a few shows. Everyone else I've heard pronounced it gowdee.

I always pronounced it goo-dee. Then I heard a few years ago that Gow-dee is correct. I still can't bring myself to say Gow-dee, so I have given up henceforth will say and think goo-dee, even if it isn't correct!
I DID however, start pronouncing Lajoie as Lah-zhway instead of La-Joy. Once I heard it pronounced on GOTT audio version. Lah-zhway sounds much better than La-joy IMO. |

I have a Louisiana "French/Cajun" uncle called Goudeau. The French pronunciation is Goo-doh. In French, I believe "Goudey" would be pronounced "Goo-day". For what it's worth, I call the cards "Gowdys" I also say "La-joy" instead of Loo ah shoo weh. Here in Houston, the San Jacinto Monument is pronounced "Sann juh sento" instead of the correct Spanish "Sahn Hah Seen-toh" And San Felipe road is pronounced "Sann Phillipy" if you are a native Houstonian. FWIW...Rob

What about Bowman?
I've heard it pronounced like "Bauman" and also like "Bow (like the ribbon on a gift) -man". I've been collecting since the 1970s and I still don't know which is correct.

I've always said Bow (like the ribbon on a gift) -man. Even if someone told me Bau-man is correct, I doubt I would change. (just like goo-dee for me)

Being from Southern Louisiana I automatically want to pronounce it Goo-dee... even though I've always heard Gow-dee. I understand that Cajun/French thing.

Thread Title Edit Suggestion
It's also pronunciation and not pronounciation to be correct.

Glad I've been saying Sweet Caporal correctly.
I hear "Sweet" "Cap" "Ore" "All" all the time.

I've always heard it Gow-dee as well.
For the first time ever in a youtube video of all places I heard someone pronounce it bow (same sound as cow) man. I've always heard it bow (like a bow tie or bow and arrow) man and when he said it the other way it sounded so stupid to me and I actually remember saying to myself "OMG moron, that's not how you say it, stop saying that!" LOL as for Lajoie...I've actually always pronounced that lah-zhwah (both vowel sounds like when the doctor tells you "say ahh")
