Last night my friends and I were talking about something, and suddenly my friend said he likes using "Mee-lee" weapons. I burst into laughter, and he looked at me confused. By the end of the night I was considered a dumbass by my friends for pronouncing it "May-Lay." Thats why I made this, I want to know the truth.

... okay, I'm sure there's a reason for this to be here. Dunno what it is, but I'll let it be.

Usually, meh-lee. That is to say, only the second syllable has a long vowel in it when I say it.

For some reason, it looks like it should be pronounced May-Lee

However, I pronounce it May Lay...

May-lay. Just seems more natural to me that way.

May-lee? Maybe I'm just weird, but the people I've played SSBM with before pronounced it May-lee too. Or maybe it's a southern hangup. Either or

Any dictionary will tell you the correct pronunciation is Maylay.

This thread is utterly, utterly pointless and now I am closing it.
