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.

Default How aboot Gow-Dee?
How-dee, it's Gow-dee.

I have never heard it differently, but then again I am not Canadian (it's 'aboot' time I revealed this fact).

I've always pronounced it Gow-dee. It never occurred to me to pronounce it Goo-dee, and I don't remember ever hearing it pronounced that way.

Put me in the Gow-dee camp. It would never in a billion years occur to me to pronounce that word "Goo-die."

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.

I'm sure the pronunciation in American hillbilly would sound funny to my ears as well. 😁
