Default This will be controversial: The correct way to pronounce "Simo"? SEE POST 69 :o)

How do you pronounce "Simo" then?

I delivered to someone who works in the BBC Pronunciation department earlier, and asked just that question....his response was quite interesting



I'll update this tomorrow with what the BBC say

But how do you pronounce Simon, Gordi? Do you pronounce it Simmon? Or Symon?

So it's just like Simon, but with the N. Symo...

It's exactly like Simon (sigh-mon), but instead of the 'mon' it's just 'mo'

Lets say no more on this matter
