Clarification of Question by clubknowledge-ga on 21 Sep 2004 14:41 PDT

I would really like an OFFICIAL answer to this one so the world can
stop arguing about it. Who do you ask I wonder?

I am going to take a stab at an "official" answer for this interesting question.

Geocities was started in 1995 by David Bohnett as Beverly Hills
Internet.  He soon decided to link real places to cities.  BHI changed
to GeoCities in Decemeber of 1995.  A press release from GeoCities
read in part:

"The homesteading program enables anyone with access to the 
 Internet to have a free Personal Home Page, or GeoPage, within our 
 cityscapes", Mr. Bohnett said. "Because GeoCities are nurtured by 
 communication and sustained by commerce, we are developing new 
 media to endow GeoCities with a rich sense of community, place 
 and interactivity, and also originating new ways to measure our 
 audiences for advertiserrs," he said. "This is the next wave of the net 
   -- not just information but habitation."

Without speaking to Mr. Bohnett directly, I think this is about as
close to official as you are going to see.

It's not particularly definitive but this might help...

"It reminds me of the age old debate of "How to pronounce
'Geocities.'" That argument ended up with someone actually calling the
Geocities offices to see how the phone operators answered the phone.
("Hello, Geo Cities," not "Hello, Geocities [g-os-ities]," just so you
know. You probably already do, anyways.)"

I have never heard it pronounced in any way other than GEE-oh-SIT-eez.

Well, I thought that too, Pink. However, a few folks (perhaps
facetiously) claim that it rhymes with "atrocities."

And the reason I hade to ask this question. A friend of mine say
[g-os-ities], but I have always Said, GEO  Cities because the C is
Capital in a single word. If the C in cities were lowercase then maybe
[g-os-ities].

I would go with the Geo Cities being that in it's original form,
websites were classified by city names for their content, i.e.,
entertaiment sites were in "Hollywood", etc.

Well I emailed him, lets see what happens :)

THE OFFICIAL Answer from Mr. Bohnett is Gee-Oh-Cities
