How do you pronounce Heresy

[jonw440]

Is it "here say"

"here see"

Just curious.

[Marvel]

More like hair-uh-see

You can hear it pronounced here:

At least you are spelling it right, unlike some Heresy owners from this forum who have spelled it "Hersey" or even "Hershey" (mmm, chocolatey!).

Hair uhh see

While we're at it, I may as well point out a few pet peeves.

The plural of Heresy (the speaker) is Heresys, NOT Heresy's (or Heresy I's, or II's...DON'T USE THE APOSTROPHE!) or Heresies. Alternately, one can use "Heresy Loudspeakers." Using those would be heresies.

[blindman]

It has three syllables.

Break it up into three parts: her / e / sy

Pronounce it: her - uh - see

The first part is not pronounced like the word "here".
The word "here" is only one syllable.

All right, let's consider that the final word and use Heresys.

Now, can we work on Chorus?

Plural of Chorus:

Would that be Choruses? Chori? Chorii? Chorus'? Chorus's? or just plain Chorus?

BTW Bob Crites - Did you get my email?

[BEC]

Gary,

I don't seem to have an email from you. Sometimes the forum email doesn't seem to work right.

Send to bobcrites@mac.com

Thanks,

Gary

The plural of Heresy (in regards to Klipsch) is Heresy Speakers

The plural of Chorus is Chorus Speakers

Fini would be correct, except we are talking about trademarked products. The trademarked word (Heresy / Chorus) remains unchanged, but the generic word (speaker) is made plural (speakers).

I mentioned that in my 1st post, mister smartypants. Harumph. Pass the Domes of Silence...

[mungkiman]

Just sayin' it aint Heresys, either, mister harumphypants. Don't make me Shhh you...

[fini]

It's funny, just as you posted that I noticed a harumphy in my pants.

[mungkiman]

Anything is better than shartypants...

[fini]

OK, you've forced me to turn you onto one of our favorite musicians...

In the same vein, it's one La Scala, two La Scalas. Apostrophes are to indicate possession, not plurality.

So you'd say one Corvette, two Corvette cars? Two Corvettes, two Ferraris sounds and looks fine to me.

Typically, I would say Heresys, or Choruses, but neither is "correct" according to the International Trademark Association. I was trying to define what was actually correct, rather than what was common convention.
