The Lein Sisters have raised an interesting discussion regarding regional differences in in word selection and pronunciation. My personal point to debate is the correct elocution of the word coupon. I always say “coo-pon,” while it seems most others say “cue-pon.”

Of course, I think most others are wrong, but it could certainly be me. How do you say it? I know in college we discussed the “coo-pon” rate, which I think has been my influence, despite my mother’s tendency to cut “cue-pons.”

Update: Jen sent me an interesting report illustrating the issue. Glad to see coupon in the top ten.
