Re: Maggie.

I pronounce the first part the way you would pronounce magazine, so with a short a. I have never heard it pronounced any other way. So, MAG-ee.

I have never heard it pronounced with a long a. I live in the South, but I've never heard it as MAY-ghee on tv or anywhere else. That's interesting. :b

It is odd.
I caught myself doing this with my cat. I'd say MAY-gee, he'd say MAG-ee. But knowing that I have a habit of elongating my As - learned from my parents accent, I thought others might as well.

I'm assuming the cat is named "Maggie" and you and someone else (Xander?) are pronouncing the name differently. But when I first read this, it makes it sound like your CAT says the name differently and you are debating pronunciations with him. :b
LOL, no.
Maggie is Ken's cat, though I still debate the fact. She may not live with me, but she still likes me better. :-D
I should have been clear- I was in a hurry when writing that.

Ha! I thought the same thing! I guess the cat would know how he wants his own name pronounced... :)
