gmail
 
hi colleague!
 How is "gmail" pronounced?
feel embarrassed to ask such a question but today a pupil asked me how he should pronounce "gmail" . To tell the truth, I was a bit surprised by his question because I had never thought about it. Thanks beforehand

The reason is partly so that it will rhyme with e-mail.

thanks Bruce. If I had been asked to pronounce it, I would have pronounced it the wrong way. Now I �ve got a reasonable answer why it is pronounced such a way. I �m thankful to you and the other colleagues who lent a helping hand
