Love! I initially began loving it when I was 10-11, although I don't remember how I came across it. I thought it was pronounced EM-il, like
Emily but without the ee. And I love that pronunciation and was disappointed when I learned that it was em-EEL. But then I have since found out that EM-il is an acceptable pronunciation in some places (I think
Sofia said that's how it's said where she lives?). I don't care, either way. It's EM-il to me, and I lurv it.
