Poll
Question:
In YOUR opinion, how do you pronounce "Pirates of the Caribbean"?
Option 1: Pirates of the Cari-BE-in?
votes: 6
Option 2: Pirates of the Car-RIB-be-in?
votes: 4
Just got back from Disneyland, having an argument with friend over how it's said. What do YOU think?
it isnt more a matter of punctuation ? on which word to put the emphasis ?
An interesting question: We say Ca-RI-bien in Swedish. But if I would pronounce this in English, I would probably say Cari-BI-en. So I don't know, where to put my poll! ;) ;D
In spanish is a lot easier: Piratas del caribe :)

oh i didnt saw the poll !
the way i tend to pronounce that it would be...
Pirates of the Cari-BE-in
i would put the emphasis on the BE, and i wouldnt never* being able to put it on the RIB because it is Car-Ri-Be-An and not Car-Rib-Ean
I don't see a poll either. I say it the way Red said: Cari- BE- an. I am originally from the northeast part of the US. I have heard people say it Ca- RIB- e- an. In the English language, both pronunciations are deemed acceptable. I wonder how the people who live there say it.
(Edit: After I posted I saw the poll. Odd.)
