Never really understood why people put a "t" sound into the word when it's not present in the word. I also don't quite under why the "CH" that has it's own Cho-colate and Ch-aracter ish style to it would become a "k" sound. Of course I'm not a great English major so maybe there's some logic behind why it would become such, but plainly looking on the word itself it has always been a.

Fi-sho or Fee-sho pronunciation to me, or however you want to explain that fishy sound. Seems the most logical pronunciation to me.

Fee-cho... I'm surprised there are so many pronunciations(?) though, and apparently Google translate says it's said "Fitch-o". I say Fee-cho anyway.

I like to pronounce it "Fee-koh", I've pronounced it like that ever since I joined. xD

*stares at topic*

How have I not even considered this? 0-0

I suppose I just pronounce it like it looks:

FICH-O

As I usually do. But thumbs-up for noting this little point, it made me stop for a moment. cx

@ Sura, I would have made a poll but I feel like some people would pronounce it their own ways, like that I forgot on there or something and then they couldn't participate.

So many pronunciations. O3o
I have always said it like

Fee - cho
Fee as in fee
Ch as in chocolate
o as in the letter in the alphabet

Oh wow! So many pronunciations! XD
I almost forget there were so many possibilities. I, for one, pronounce Ficho like Lord Suragaha does. "F-eye-co"

Follow the damned.. I have lost the way again

I've always pronounced it as Fitchoh. I actually haven't even stopped to think about how I'm pronouncing it, probably incorrectly XD

Because the English language is stupid, my dear Reddles. :)
Okay, maybe not stupid, but it has some ridiculous rules that don't seem to have much logic behind them. I blame the Anglo-Saxons. (i dunno why)
