But that is not how it is pronounced. It is pronounced "W(eye)-F(eye)". The IPA is wrong in my opinion because nobody I know pronounces it "High-High".
  • It rhymes with high-high, that is, the vowel in each syllable is /aɪ/, the same vowel as in buy, high, ride, write. And that's the same vowel as "eye", so I don't think we disagree, do we, actually? JohnCD (talk) 20:07, 19 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
Nope. I think we have come full circle. I have been doing some reading on IPA and actually found what you said above. It may have been my lack of understanding the IPA standards. Issue Resolved
