Colleen... Do you say Coal-in?
Or Call-in?
Personally I say Call-in.

The second way, because that's EXACTLY how my name is pronounced.

...Although the French like to use "Caw-lain" sometimes.

I pronounce my name "Call-in."

The Colleen on this board, I call "poopyface whose face is poopy with poop in his mouth."

Colleen Powell uses the "Coal-in" pronounciation.

Yet another reason for me to not care about the people in (or in this case who were in) power in the States.

Haha, Call-in = superiority. Yeah, that makes sense. =D

Damn straight.

Luckily 99.9% of people in Canada know how to properly pronounce the name. I believe it has something to do with a dove. (The name, not the pronounciation.)

The second unless I hear someone's name being pronounced the otherway.

I doubt any of you could pronounce Vachenzia. Also, it is a really name I know the chick who has that name.

On the pronounciation of 'Colleen', I say 'Call-in' as well I can't say I've heard anyone pronounce it differently either

That's a unique name, at least to me I'd pronounce it 'Vak-enz-ya'. How do you pronounce it?

I pronounce it Call in, because if you don't pronounce it that way, you're stupid.

As for Linux, though it seems like it'd be pronounced Lie-nucks (like Linus), Mr. Torvalds says it's pronounced Linn-ucks, and I think he would know.
