Well, I pronounce it Way-com (like Crom is pronounced, Conan-fanatics).
Of course, I'm probably wrong, since I used to say Id Software "Eye-dee Software"
Ah well.

it's pronounced wah kum . When I was having problems I had to call them and that is how they pronounced it, and I also asked, as I too was curious about how it was pronounced

you pronounce it wah-come, I had to talk to their tech one time and the operator got a kick out of how I pronounced it originally, way-com, she corrected me, and I guess her version is correct since it was the source.

| Wah-come? That sounds stupid... I like Way-kahm so much better... Is it Whack-Um Or Wock-Um? |

How do you pronounce "wacom?"
I get abused no matter how I pronounce it.

I pronounce it Way-kahm or Whah-Kahm depending on my mood.
As for the correct pronunciation...?
I have a question too...is it a tablet, stylus, board, or a thingie?
(as to what noun follows Whah-Kahm) |
