I have gotten into many arguements over the pronouncation of the word Zealot. Even though it was prooven to me that it is actually pronounced Zel - it (dam u dictionary) instead of Zeal - it, i still rather say Zeal-it.

and so i ask you good people What pronounceation is cooler

Zeal - it (zeeeeeeee lit)

or Zel-it (zel- it like zellers)

and which do u use? (which one is cooler not which one is right)

Zealot is derived from the word 'Zealous'. The correct pronunciation is 'Zell-it'.

my pronunciation dictionary says : zellet so the where "e" is the same sound as in a short "the". It doesn't give alternatives and it would if there were any. That surprised me, I thought it were pronounced "Zee"-"lot"
This is my truth, tell me yours!
