I must know...

[misfitinmn]

when you say template, does it sound like "tem-plit" or "tem-play-t"? (my strength is obviously not phonetically typing words out) I've just noticed in some of the podcasts and stuff I've listened to that a lot seem to say "tem-plit" but I've always said it with a long A sound. (y'know, like plate)

These are the important questions, you know.

[emmasmommy]

i always used to say "tem-plate" but i've been trying to change to "tem-plit" since that seems to be what everyone else says lol

 

[Lyd]

Yep. Same same. Although, we had this discussion at a crop a few weeks ago, and immediately following . . . I said tem"plate." It gets in your brain.

 

[Darcy Baldwin]

tem-plut if I'm honest (I can't do the speech sign for the actual schwah sound, but yeah..it's a lazy vowel sound).

 

[NeverendingJen]

tem pl-uh-t.

 

[MommaTrish]

tem-plut if I'm honest (I can't do the speech sign for the actual schwah sound, but yeah..it's a lazy vowel sound).

I feel so all alone in my long A sound corner here.

 

[misfitinmn]

OH, and you're all right, by the way. Dictionary.com confirmed. But I'm pretty set in my ways.

 

[Gemma]

I had to sit here and repeat myself a few times out loud and I say it as "tem-plit". Now it definitely sounds weird to me after saying it over and over ...lol!

I'm revising my answer to this!

 

[adrianka]

Ha! The Oxford dictionary has both pronunciations!

Pronunciation: /ˈtɛmpleɪt, -plɪt/

 

[Lyd]

I'm revising my answer to this!

Ditto - temp-let (more of the schwa sound).

 

[scrap2day]

plate

 

[rach3975]

I've never thought about it but I think I say tem-plate lol. Now I'm sitting saying it out loud to myself!

Ummm...I don't know if I've ever said the word out loud referring to scrapping templates. IRL who would I talk to about templates? So now I'm sitting here saying it out loud, too. Now none of them sound right! Either the long A or the "plut" sound. I'll have to try again later to be sure.

 

[MamaBee]

I feel so all alone in my long A sound corner here.

Well, I'm going with my "state sister".... I say plate....
