But isn't that root (vita) pronounced vee-tah by most the world? I think it's mostly only English where vy-tah (it's more like vy-tuh) is common.JasonMCG said:EDIT: BTW, I'm assuming it's pronounced "Vy-tuh" since it's supposedly derived from the Latin word for Life (ie. "vitality").
Can someone link me or point me towards Dr Forester's other recent GIFs? If they're half as awesome, I gotta see!JasonMCG said:That sounds fucking stupid.
I was thinking it was like...I don't know, vitamin, but I suppose the pronunciation could go either way. "Vee-tuh" sounds better though not by much.omg.kittens said:But isn't that root (vita) pronounced vee-tah by most the world?

Regardless, I agree:

I'm guessing it's pronounced Veeta.JasonMCG said:"I have a Vita."
That sounds fucking stupid. Even in my darkest hour I knew saying, "I have a Wii" would catch on if only because the Wii moniker was so unique.
"I have a Vita."
Ugh. No.

Kaz will let us know Monday evening. I'm not sure which I like better. Vee-ta is easier to pronounce imo.funkystudent said:is it pronounced Vee-Ta or Vye-ta?

Pazuzu9 said:So is it confirmed at this point? Or is there a chance that Sony deliberately put 'Vita' in the source code of the website in order to throw us off the scent?

I sort of doubt that's the case here though, this would all be a very elaborate, too elaborate, just to throw people off.

Not in the humanities.Meier said:It's pronounced vee-ta. Fun fact, in the world of higher ed, resumes are referred to as vitas rather than CVs (vitaes).
