I was just talking to someone last night and heard them say something and my ears pricked up wondering the following.

The word mica in relation to the colour is it pronounced meesha or mika?

I was curious

 

I pronounce it my-ka. I just realised that I never heard anyone else say it out loud however, so I probably just made it up. It's a type of stone, so you should be able to find a dictionary entry for it which gives the correct pronunciation.

 

Yep, just checked, it's pronounced as I said.

 

Who gives a fcuck?

 

How do you pronounce that?

 

They may have only heard it pronounced in relation to the singer Mica Paris.

 

Lol, good point.

 

i've always known it as mica



seriously, the garage i worked for always refered to it as 'my-ka'

 

I've always thought of it as my-kah.
