I don't care about any 'official' answers (because there are more than one), I'm asking how *you* say it.

2. Always have. The other way sounds like a magic word.

Aaaaand Diplodocus, the rabbit is back in the hat.

Always pronounced it as per example #2 - although I have heard it pronounced the other way many times.

I say it the first way though my voice isn't quite so deep.

;)

Seriously? People say "di-plod-icus"? That's just silly! Dip-low-doe-cus!

Chris the dinosaur man at the Natural History Museum in Oxford says it that way. And he's awesome at drawing dinosaurs and putting dinosaur poo in his mouth.

#1 because it sounds better and #2 sounds American, which is rubbish!

I agree that 2 is for over-enthusiastic bespectacled American scientists on Horizon.

Why does everyone keep trying to spell it phonetically? Most of them I'm reading the opposite way to how they're intended anyway!
