How is "diebold" pronounced?

Edited on Fri Oct-15-04 09:13 PM by truizm

Is it "die" (as pronouced in English) or "D" as in the German "die"?

I've heard both. I'm just curious.

4. I believe it's

"DEE" as in the letter "D"... "BOLD", as in, "it's mighty bold of us to steal a second election".

They prounce it Deebold because they don't want the negative connotation of DIE.

12. I live thirty miles away from the "Dee"bold headquarters

and know many people who work there. It is definitely Dee-bold. The German pronunciation is correct.
