an angel Posted April 17, 2010 Author Share Posted April 17, 2010 I know "coo-pon" makes more sense since it looks like it should be pronounced that way, but it makes me cringe. :blank: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NumbersGirl Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 I say "coo". And that's the CORRECT way. "cue" or "q", is a variant developed by us silly Americans apparently. See the correct pronunciation in the link below, and the "Pronunciation Note" below the definition where it blames [some of] us silly Americans for the variant. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/coupon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
