The question today is how Do YOU Pronounce "Vacuum"?

Normally, I have always used the pronunciation vac-yoom, but after seeing a Tektronix video about the Square Wave, I like how the narrator pronounced it.
He said vac-yoo-um.

So, since seeing that video, I have made it a point to always pronounce it the second way.

I was thinking that this might be an interesting topic to discuss.

growing up,

my mom just called it a sweeper. She used it to "red up the house".
