[quote="Robin20152"][b][color=white]. [/color] Hello! What is the correct way to pronounce the word/name, "Gixen" ??? Should I pronounce "Gixen" using the "short" or "long" vowel sound for the letter "I" in the word, "Gixen" ??? I'm leaning towards saying it using the "short" vowel sound for the letter "I", so that "Gixen" rhymes with "vixen". Just Wondering . . . . . Robin [color=white]. [/color] [/b][/quote]

The "long" vowel sound for the letter "i" when used in a word is something similar to the sound it makes in the the words, "I", "like", and "slice". The "long" vowels sound like themselves: I, A, E, I, O, and U. <br /> <br />As for, "What difference does it make", it makes a difference when you want to tell a friend about it, or mention it in a conversation on a nationally syndicated radio talk show that has over 10 million listeners, or on a Nation-wide TV news network. <br /> <br />Like I said....
