Ok this is gonna sound kinda anal. I know I'm a new guy and don't want to start any major controversy, but I have a humble request for the pronunciation powers that be.

When I recommend the site to others and see it is...

pronounced 'ECK-ee', it sounds like "yuck-ee" to me.

It sounds better as "ee-cie".

What do you think?

I believe it was intended to be pronounced like Becky sans the "B".

Uh Oh! Now I feel bad.

Like I said..."Eck-ee" sounds awesome!

Very clever! The ONLY way to pronounce it. Any other way would sound ridiculous.

I got the answer from Becky herself during a nice visit. It is pronounced like Becky sans the "B".

I wish you guys could hear the number of phone calls I get by gents spelling out the site name.

I lmao at them as I correct them.

I thought it was pronounced Ex-Cee when I first joined but I soon learned the correct pronunciation: Ecky or Becky without the B. Not from Becky, but some one else.
