    All right, riffing off imbecile's 'comparable' post a couple of months ago.

    Kilometre.

    One of these is the correct pronunciation, however most people mispronounce it.

    DIS
    kill - oh - mee - ter

    or

    DAT
    ki - LAW - muh - tur

    • dis but technically it could be either - it's a prefix but it makes one word so dat is probably correct... similar to omnipotent in a way.kingsteven

    • I'd be curious to know how all of you DAT people think 'kilogram' is pronounced.
