Help[Opinions] Re: Wdyt of Dinah... + pron.
in reply to a message by Lissa
I love it, but in my country I don't gave the die-nah problem. I also find the Biblical story disturbing and would probably not name a child after Dinah for this reason.
Oh, and din-ah / deen-ah is the proper prononciation originally and in most countries. Only English speakers modified it. But since they pron. Rabbi ruh-bie it's not surprising. :)

Some Americans are idiots.
Rab-bye is the one that I hear the most, from my Jewish friends. I've known several rabbis, and gone to school with Orthodox Jews. I'm also fairly sure its prounuced that way in England. I've never heard reb-eye, nor ruh-bie.
Just because you hear something on a plane, or from one person, does not mean that its the way Americans speak. American accents are quite varied, and in some places in the US its all WASP. Hence, they might not be familiar with Rabbis.
Sorry for my rant, but I do hate generalizations. Especially from people who get in up arms over them themselves.
