How do YOU pronounce poinsettia?

I pronounce it Poin - setta. Anyone else? Is that just a regional thing?? I just heard someone call it a Poin-set-ee-a. I thought it was weird.

Reply:I've heard it said both ways. I had a relative that lived on a Poinsettia Avenue, and they said it, "Poin-set-ee-ah", but most people I know call the plant "Poin-sett-ah."





I always thought that was interesting, too!
Reply:I have always pronounce it 'poin-setta'. I've never heard anyone else pronounce it differently. I'm from Ohio though, so maybe we all pronounce it incorrectly.
