Is this the beginning of more videos coming from Merriam-Webster? I really enjoyed all your videos, very entertaining and educational.

[peterd]

This is a neat video but I like the format of video more where things are explained (etymology and usage, mostly).

[sheldonaubut]

I'm pleased to see that you are back. I've missed the M-W videos.

[BeckVMH]

Thank you sir. Your shirt and tie combinations are always spot on.

Love to see a video on pronunciation of the work processes (plural of process).

[GregoryTheGrster]

I know that I have said this B4, but you dudes ought to make more videos! This is outside of your normal job requirements, but hearing from the true professionals is *awesome* for us, if you will allow me to use this painfully hackneyed word.

A lot of people make the distinction that a /väz/ is over $100 while a /vās/ is cheaper

[TravisTerrell]

I was under the impression the pronunciation depended on the pretentiousnes of the person saying it, with Väz being reserved only for the most pompous of individuals.

More importantly, how do you say his name?

What is the correct pronunciation of "Merriam"-Webster Dictionary ? (mer-yum? mera-yum?)

[ratsforhands]

I heard that the way it was pronounced was reflected on it's price. "Vace" - Under $1000, "Vaz" Over $1000. Has my whole life been a lie?

How do you pronounce the name of your own company/dictionary?

I say vās if it's a plane ordinary vase but if it;s a fancy hand painted vase I say väz
