          I say it the same way, except the second *i* gets pronounced more like an
          *auh* sound than a soft *i* sound ... I've heard epi reps say it the same way ... I don't know what the correct way is exactly. interestinly, when people say it abbreviated *epi*, what I say, and hear most often is that second *i* gets pronounced as a long *ee*.

              Some of my friends say it like I do, some say it like you do. Although, like you I don't think I've every heard anyone call it an Epah or Epuh for short.

              I think it's one of those I say to-ma-tos, you say to-mah-tos things. As long as you don't call Nirvana, Nirvaaaaaana (with a hard A), I don't care

              God I hate it when people do that.

                think "epic" just without the "c" and then "phone"... that's how I pronounce it.

                  Epi-phony - as in a phony Gibson. I pronounce it like Kent S when I'm being serious.

Which is why many people play electric guitars but very very few of them are actually musicians.

                              Ditto. I know on the radio commercials for Guitar Center, that's how it's said as well (not that Guitar Center automatically makes things right, cause it doesn't).
