Okay, here's the million dollar question... Is it pronounced Pirates of the "Caribbean" OR Pirates of the "Caribbean". I think it just sounds so weird when people pronounce it "Caribbean".... I mean, seriously, "Caribbean"? Who says it like that? It's obviously pronounced "Caribbean"!

I say it like the first way , pirates of the caribbean.  - jjdq  326.7 #491 11:35PM

It was a sad attempt at "g rated" humor folks. You see, they're spelled the same...therefore the answer to the question would be the same. Caribbean or Caribbean. My apologies - gobigdan  6.4 #8676 4:07PM

Thank you gobigdan! I have always wondered about that!!! It's like... is it pecan or pecan, it just depends on where you are from! - Boundin  425.4 #299 7:02PM

I've Definately heard it both ways. Not sure which one is right??? The first or maybe the second one?? - Chadco  299.0 #616 8:00PM
They're both right--pronunciation is regional. - Spoonful_O_Sugar  436.3 #285 8:01PM

Well, now it's really confusing!!! I've heard 1) carribean 2) carribean or 3) carribean. I've heard 1 and 2, but 3 is just plain crazy talk. Who says it that way anyhow???? It doesn't even look like that... Carribean. Geez - gobigdan  6.4 #8676 9:19PM
 ur all awesome!!! - gobigdan  6.4 #8676 9:20PM

This is a question for Captain Sparrow. - BeagleBoy12  167.3 #2049 9:30PM
Pirates of The Cayy Coffe Beans. Pirates of the Care Bear Beings. - Butterlina  1308.0 #62 9:31PM
Because languages evolve both are considered "correct". However, the name originated from the native Carib (pronounced CaREEB) people, many locals use the "Car-ee-be-un" pronunciation, which is probably the most authentic. But I say Caribbean! :) - MoonWillow  371.9 #373 9:45PM
Pirates of the Carbloaders. Pirates of they carry on bags. Pirates of The Carrie Nations. - Butterlina  1308.0 #62 9:48PM
HeeHee-I vote for Pirates of the Carrie Nations!! - PixieMom  194.9 #1701 9:52PM
Very interresting moonwillow! So tell me then, the native Carib people, would they pronounce it a) carribean b) carribean or c) carribean? I must warn you... I've mixed up a, b, and c. - gobigdan  6.4 #8676 10:27PM
And ur post was quite informative. Thank you! - gobigdan  6.4 #8676 10:28PM
It's obviously pronounced Caribbean. - aquagummy  6.6 #8514 10:44PM
