I knew a kid irl when I played on live 10ish years ago who said "pree-mal" instead of primal.

Not really...i manage to pronounce both correctly. Oh and while I'm nitpicking... it is better to use 'wrongly' instead of 'wrong' [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

mah-nah is correct. Surprised to see 90% of poll is incorrect.

Man-nuh and mah-nuh are two separate words entirely.

Man-nuh is spelled "manna", while mah-nuh is spelled "mana".

Manna

Mana

I've personally never called it "man-nuh"...

I have. My cousin does it constantly. He also spells magic with a 'K'.

Vent really brings out all the crazy ways people pronounce things... I know people who pronounce mana "mah na," necro "knee crow," and even shuriken "shur eye kin." No joke... and that's only some of the crazy ways people say different things. Regionalism I guess

yes it is indeed crazy some people pronounce this word correctly.

"knee-crow" is an abomination though, you might as well pronounce "wellness" as "wheelness" for all intents and pees.
