    Default How Do You Pronounce the "E" in Etsy

    Help me settle a debate. How do you pronounce the "E" in Etsy:

    ... like the "i" in "it"?

    or

    ... like the "e" in "Edward"?

    I'm wondering if there are regional differences.

    I have only heard "E" like Edward when coworkers were talking about the site. (Et see) Like Betsy without the "B". I've never heard it pronounced Eat-see but with a made up word I guess it is open to what the speaker thinks is correct.
