Me knows proper phonetic symbols so there! (I am a language geek)

IPA : ɪn.ˈkɒn.tɪn.əns

X-Sampa : In.'kon.tIn.@ns

That would be in-CON-tin-ens for most of you out there.

In-con-ti-nince for me..

And I pronounce Tomato: toe-may-toe; potato: po-ta-to; aluminum: Alu-mi-num; and centrifugal: cen-trif-agal.

You brits may know those last two as "alu-min-ium", and "cen-tra-few-gal"

I've always thought about how you pronounce "continents"...you know, like North America or Europe and all of those. And then just put "in" at the front.

So, that means technically, we're all incontinent, since we're all "in" a "continent". :p :P :p

That also reminds me of a joke I came up with a while ago:

A six year old boy comes home from school. His mom asks him "How was school today?" He responds "It was ok...except that my teacher called me incontinent today."

"What?!" his mom asks. "Why did she say that?"

"Well, she said that I don't listen, and that I can't read or do math or anything that she taught us..."

"Oh!" his mom said. "You mean she said you were INCOMPETENT. I guess that's just about as bad..."

I know...silly and not very good, but I did come up with it myself.
