I must know...

[misfitinmn]

when you say template, does it sound like "tem-plit" or "tem-play-t"? (my strength is obviously not phonetically typing words out) I've just noticed in some of the podcasts and stuff I've listened to that a lot seem to say "tem-plit" but I've always said it with a long A sound. (y'know, like plate)

These are the important questions, you know.

[Lindsay]

I'm a "tem-plit" girl too.

[breakingbrie]

Me too

[emmasmommy]

i always used to say "tem-plate" but i've been trying to change to "tem-plit" since that seems to be what everyone else says lol

[Lyd]

Yep. Same same. Although, we had this discussion at a crop a few weeks ago, and immediately following . . . I said tem"plate." It gets in your brain.

[Darcy Baldwin]

tem-plut if I'm honest (I can't do the speech sign for the actual schwah sound, but yeah..it's a lazy vowel sound).

[NeverendingJen]

tem pl-uh-t.

[farrijc]

tem-plit

[misfitinmn]

I feel so all alone in my long A sound corner here.

[misfitinmn]

OH, and you're all right, by the way. Dictionary.com confirmed. But I'm pretty set in my ways.

[Gemma]

I've never thought about it but I think I say tem-plate lol. Now I'm sitting saying it out loud to myself!

We can have coffee together. I say templAYT with a lovely Slovak accent.

[Lizzy257]

You're all weird It's. templAYTe!!

[Tronesia]

I had to sit here and repeat myself a few times out loud and I say it as "tem-plit". Now it definitely sounds weird to me after saying it over and over ...lol!

[eranslow]

another tem-plit sayer here It sounds odd to say it tem-plate! LOL

I'm a templit girl too, lol. The i sound doesn't have much emphasis for me.

[BrattyMeg]

[Milmomma]

For me its a tim-plit. I say it more like time-pit I guess, lol.

I'm revising my answer to this!

[adrianka]

Ha! The Oxford dictionary has both pronunciations!

Pronunciation: /ˈtɛmpleɪt, -plɪt/

[Lyd]

Ditto - temp-let (more of the schwa sound).

[scrap2day]

Ummm...I don't know if I've ever said the word out loud referring to scrapping templates. IRL who would I talk to about templates? So now I'm sitting here saying it out loud, too. Now none of them sound right! Either the long A or the "plut" sound. I'll have to try again later to be sure.

Yes this. Temp-let for me too. It always weirds me out when people say tem-plate haha

[dana]

temp-let is closest for me too

[krystalhartley]

I had no idea people said templAYte.

I'm sort of templEHt maybe?

But I say harassment with the accent on the first syllable (har-uhs-muhnt), and advertisement (ad-vur-tis-muhnt) with the accent on the second syllable. And again typically with a long vowel in the second syllable (uh-geyn).

Me too.

[Trista]

It varies for me but mostly the et sound... sometime the -uht sound and maybe I could swing the -it. But since I have a deep southern drawl I tend to say it the lazy way and it comes out templet. I don't have time to hang on to the long a sound ya'll. hahaha
