Well that's how everyone here says it.

How are you so sure? Not saying you're wrong just wondering.

It is S. Not e s. If you really want to know, you would have to prenounce the accent over the é then s which generally becomes S. You can try to split them up but that wouldn't make much sense.

S, like the spanish word is how i pronounce it. I kinda figured it that way cause of the accent.

I used to prounounce Lakai, as Lay-kay. But La-kai sounds cooler


I say Ee-es. not es.

I was honestly just about to post a thread about this.

I say E - S

"s" is gramatically correct, though, since I'm taking French and I know all this stuff.

as if it wasn't said enough, it is pronounced as the letter S.

also, for years i had said chris haslam's last name "huh-slahm" because that's what my friends used to say and it just sounded right. until i met these kids i'm friends with now who tell me it is pronounced "haz-lum" because they've heard chris haslam say it himself. so obviously i learned to believe them and that's how i say it now, even though i'm not actually sure. spenser probably knows

im sure because thats just how it is. ive worked in a shop for years, ive skated since i was five... i know how to say names. its not a big deal, im just saying that the correct way to say it is like the letter S.

also, watch a video where someone talks about it.. like an es video or something.

i have a video on the history of es where the founder talks about it and they say the name throughout the video.

French is my first language, and I dk what you're on about.

I guess its just one of those things, like how do you pronounce Iraq? iraq or eye-wrawqwue? depends on the country.
