Help[Opinions] Re: Stasys
in reply to a message by Amphelise
Well, most English speakers I know that I hear talk are from America or Canada, and I see on your profile that you are British, so it is probably a regional accent. I think maybe I've heard some people say it with long a (ay) but mostly with short.

I'm American and have only ever heard and said "stay-sis."
Well America is very big, maybe my friends are from different parts of America. My country is small (on world scale, we're large for a euro country) and in the west vs the east people don't even speak the same language it's so different. In America most people speak English so I would expect large accent difference across regions.
I’m Australian-British (born and raised in Aus but have lived in England for nearly 15 years) so my accent doesn’t know if it’s coming or going any more.
