Punny Poll #28: How Do You Pronounce "Punny?"
Author: Nick
Category: Money
Topics: poll
Not surprisingly, the results of the last Punny Poll indicate that nearly two-thirds of you are financially irresponsible. Taking a look at the people around me, that fraction sounds about right. That is to say, it sounds accurate; there’s nothing “right” about being a moron with your money. Whenever possible, be a moron with someone else’s money. Of those few who have achieved financial responsibility, most did so between the ages of 19 and 25.
You’ll have to forgive the non-financial nature of the next poll, but it’s something that’s come up in conversation a lot lately. More and more people I know in real life are finding out about this website, so I’ve been handing out lots of business cards I had made featuring the name of the site (see above). Fully half the people who take a “Punny Money” business card in hand squint at it for a minute before finally saying, “Oh, PYOO-nee Money?” as in “the amount of money you have is tiny?” I assure you that is probably the case, so do not ask me for money. But that has nothing to do with this week’s poll question which asks how you pronounce the name of this here place on the internet.

Rhymes with money – just one of the strange things about our English language. hukt on foniks?
Now it would be weird to see Poney Money, or Punny Munny. Those just don’t look right!

I thought it rhymed with “funny”, but rhyming with money makes sense too.

For the longest time, I read it as “puny money,” and wondered why anyone in their right mind would call the blog puny. When I read the content, I figured…heck, this guy is slightly off. So I left it at that.
Fast forward a few months…apparently, I couldn’t read
Now I think you mean punny as in funny.

Forget how people are supposed to pronounce the name of your site. That is one awesome looking fingernail you have. You could do some hand modeling.

Kimberly, I haven’t a clue anymore. But according to the poll results as of Saturday night, it’s “Suiseiseki Money.” Fine by me!

mbhunter, I wish I could say you were the first person to suggest that, but you’re not. I’m told all of the time that I have the most gorgeous hands anyone’s ever seen on a man. Perhaps I should look into monetizing them. AdSense for Fingers, Google?

I’m going with ‘rhymes with funny’.
PYOO-nee does rhyme with the short form of municipal (muni) – in my mind at least.

Hi Punny! Yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It’s pretty worth enough for me. Personally, if all website owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the web will be much more useful than ever before. Thanks.
