I bounce between AU-subaru and Oz-subaru...

Dunno why I haven't settle on just one though!

Ha, I have never thought of it as anything other than Aus-Subaru, but I also say tomato instead of tomato :-)

I've always read it as Aus-ubaru, because we don't say we're in the AU, we say we are in Aus. And the title in joined so to me it appears as one word. It's only ever confused one person so far with me referring to this site as Ausubaru and not A U Subaru. Just interested to see what the majority thinks.

Hahaha..

Sometimes it's easier to adapt to the pronunciation the person you're speaking to uses. I do this when speaking botany around anyone.

Yep, depends on the situation of use - for example online / formal use in normal voice : AUSubaru ... While talking to friends & peolpe who already know, shorter version OZubaru, said quickly. Or if out about in country, trying to explain, will go for drawn out version : A-U-S-S-u-b-a-r-u ... :rolleyes:

Need to start a few new web sites named under each version, direction then to here I recon ... :twisted:

Cheers, Bantum ...

Depends on how much I'm slurring my words.
