lol.

Yes, you found an example. What a dull monotone voice.

All the kids at school said see gah. This lasted well into the mid 90s.

I thought that the Japanese character for "Hu" (ふ or フ) was pronounced "fu". Is there a chance it should be "FuCard"?

Only slightly joking... I realize the Hu in HuCard comes from Hudson, which is spelled with a ハ.

Anyway, I've always gone with hyu'-card.

f*ckard.

Make it so...

Hue - Card for me too.

In any event, it's Hew (hyoo, hugh) Card.  They even say "hewcard" in the Japanese commercials...

Beat me to it. It is officially Hyoo card, even though:
- Japan has a "Hu" sound, though it sounds more like "foo"
- Hudson in Japan is pronounced "Hadason"

Anyone who says "whocard" or "Konaymee" or "Sea-gah" or "Merry-oh" should like... figure out how to say stuff.

Yeah, if you were going with the pronunciation of "Hudson", they'd be saying HahCards, lol

I think it makes sense for why it happened in the UK (I think that's where you're from), because the SMS was so big over there people saw the name and just made their own interpretation of how it was supposed to be pronounced.  It wasn't until the MegaDrive came out and you had the SEGA chant in the beginning of Sonic that most people probably knew how to pronounce it.

I wonder how did I know how to pronounce it long before Sonic? I don't remember much if any Master System TV ads in US to teach me. Years later when I had a real SMS I was surprised that the BIOS start up has the Sega jingle, though not voiced. I didn't realize how old it was.

Heh, that's awesome. 

[wildfruit]

I mean this advert says say-gah but I guess I never saw it or paid attention.
Also what a bargain

Wait, there was Toys R Us in the UK?!  My mind is thoroughly blown at this point.
