Not a question about Sgarbossa's criteria, per se... but I want to know how to pronouce it. :)

Is it "Gar-boss-ah" with a silent S?

Is it "Sar-boss-ah" With a silent G?

Help a brutha out....

I've always heard it pronounced the second way.

That's the great thing about being a Texan. When I don't know how to say something I just say it in a heavy Texas drawl. They just look at me with pity pat me on the shoulder and say "that's ok you should be proud you even made this far big guy".

I just slip in a lot of y'alls and let my vowels go flat. If I cut back on the syllable count, no one will even ask me what a Sgarbossa's criteria is.

(and all of a sudden the guys at google are wondering why the rush on this word all of a sudden.)

I pronounce it "Barbossa", just because I can. Then again, I tend to talk too fast for people to listen anyways, so I usually just assume they've lost interest by that point of the conversation. ;)

I say it just like its spelled. Sgar - bose - ah

Almost sounds like you're saying Scar - bose - ah when you say it fast.

Pick one, and say it with confidence...hope no one thinks twice about your pronunciation. :D

This.

Say it like you know what you're talking about and every one else will just think they are the idiots and not the other way around.

:p
