As in poin-set-ee-a, and not poin-set-a. It just grates my nerves when people don't pronounce the "i" at the end. So could you do me this favor and call it a poin-set-ee-a? It's my Christmas miracle. ;-)
Will everyone please call the Christmas flower a Poinsettia?
I've always called it that.

Reply:Okay, I will. The blue poin-set-ee-as are really pretty this year.
Reply:OK, sure thing!
Reply:I think both ways of saying it are correct. You can hear audio pronunciations at Merriam-Webster. They have two audio files saying it both ways.
Reply:sure but i don't even know what one is really so i won't be saying it :)
Reply:Both pronounciations are correct, by the way. It's a Spanish word. We don't say "may-he-co" (Mexico), even though it's spelled the same! We say, "Mex-i-co" Think about it, and try not to let it get to you.
