LAW-yer, LOY-yer, other?

[brobar]

I'm sure for many of us... it depends on where we were born and raised. I say it one way. My wife says it another. How do you guys pronounce lawyer?

In Britain, they call them solicitors. Which is funny, because here in the colonies, solicitation is a criminal offense with implications of prostitution. :-)

some are solicitors in Britain, some are barristers. Of course, here in the colonies, we also have a Solicitor General of the United States. Supreme Court Justice Kagan was Solicitor General before being appointed to the court.

LAW-yer. You know, because they (allegedly) practice LAW and not LOY. Californians used to make fun of me for pronouncing it correctly. I was born and raised near Galveston though, so half the shit I say is pronounced weird and usually has a couple extra Rs thrown in for good measure.
