Title: How do you pronounce Circuital?
Post by: goldbondking on Apr 27, 2011, 09:16 PM
Is it sir-kit-uhl or sir-kyoo-it-al?  They were talking about this on inforoo and I just wanted to see how other MMJ fans felt.  I always thought it was sir-kit-uhl but apparently it was announced as sir-kyoo-it-al.

Cool, thanks.  Incredible that I've heard the song so many times (starting last August!) and yet was pronouncing it wrong.

You're very welcome. I thought it was the same pronunciation you did when I first saw the word.  ;)

If you have ever been lost and driven in circles, but finally found your destination, you have taken a circuital route.

According to some translators, in Swedish "Circuital" is "Ampères"

My inner grammar nazi is coming out -- I think the word in that context would be circuitous.  :-X

You know I posted that in the wee hours. I realized before I read your respond I was wrong, and then it was pointed out. Same general idea though.

Haha, really? I have never seen that word in my life! ??? Though I understand the word (or so she thought...) I can't think of a fitting translation. Circuital would be the adjective form of circuit, or? HELP! ;)

And you can hear Jim say Okonokos on this show: http://www.kcrw.com/music/programs/mb/mb061027jim_james_and_carl_b (http://www.kcrw.com/music/programs/mb/mb061027jim_james_and_carl_b) unless my memory is playing tricks on me.  :thumbsup:

"circuital" (http://www.merriam-webster.com/audio.php?file=circui02&word=circuital&text=%5C-k%C9%99-t%3Csup%3E%C9%99%3C%2Fsup%3El%5C)

Sorry, Dewie, I just realized we posted the same link.  Seems everyone is wrong with how they say it.

By the way, love your music.

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: I give that comment 3 thumbs up!! As far as pronouncing CIRCUITAL, no matter how many times I practice it, when I have to say it to someone (because I'm pushing people to buy this album like a dealer) I always fumfur it anyway.

Patrick pronounced the name of the album in the youtube video they tweeted recently - check it out to settle the debate :)
