738829 2009-01-15 02:47:00 How do you say it? Is there any correct way?

Is it any of these?

Bait-a
Beet-a
Bett-a
Other?


Thanks :)

738830 2009-01-15 02:49:00 I personally pronounce it "Betta", like "better", however I wouldnt have a clue if its correct in terms of "beta" software.

The greek letter however (from my understanding) is definitely "beeta" like "(an egg) beater".

738832 2009-01-15 02:58:00 Think the correct pronunciation of it is bay-ta (bait uh).

I personally pronounce it bee-ta (beater).

England/aussie/nz probably would pronunce it bee-ta, while americans would pronounce it bay-ta.

Think about the greek alphabet and how you'd say it ..Alpha, Beta, and so on...

That's the one I usually use, though I'll sometimes say it the other ways too

738836 2009-01-15 03:48:00 Bay ta, or Beeter, depends who I'm talking to.
