There are two different ways to pronounce the name of a certain 40 ton battlemech and my friends and I use the other pronunciations. So I thought, what the heck, lets see what the community thinks.

Is the correct pronunciation. I was, for a time, pronouncing it "si kuh duh" until I looked up the bug the name derives from.

sick
aid
duhhhhhhhhhh

Si-KAH-duh because the word is Latin, and, well, I try to pronounce my Latin words using Latin rules.

Edit: Of course, technically that would make it "ki-KAH-duh", fml. Either way, at least I try to get the VOWEL sounds right. FML

OMG you people are so wrong. It is pronounced Chi-Sa-Da. That is it's correct sound. What kind of made up language are you people using si si si. Fooey.

Again it is Chi-Sa-Da.
