I say we settle this once and for all.

 

The name "Sea3on" is pretty nice. It's much more convenient to search "Sea3on" than to search "Sonic SatAM Fan-Made Season 3." Nonetheless, there is one major question that needs to be answered: How are you supposed to pronounce it? 

 

In the original casting call video, Matt referred to it as "Season." In a later video, though, he seemed considerably less confident about how it should be pronounced. (Both of these videos seem to have been taken down, probably because Paul is tired of receiving auditions.) 

 

Personally, I'm not a fan of calling it "Season." It sounds too much like, you know... Summer, Fall, etc. Plus, there just seems to be something unreasonable about it, I don't know. It's like, what about Season 1 and Season 2? I'm having trouble finding words for exactly why I don't like this pronunciation... but I don't. 

 

My brother facetiously calls it "Sea-three-uhn." I suppose it's the straight-forward way to pronounce it, eh? Like pronouncing SatAM "Sat-Ay-Em" (which I do). But... no, it's not working for me.

 

Personally, my preferred pronunciation is "Season Three." It's to the point, and in the context of Sonic, it seems pretty clear what you're talking about. (Of course, Sonic X has a third season... in space... but people shouldn't talk about that...) 

 

So yeah, what do you guys think? Are there any choices I forgot? Perhaps "Sea-*short pause*-uhn"? LOL

I've never said it aloud, but I always read it sea-three-son

I also Say Sat-am

Hmm, "sea-three-son," that sounds kinda cool actually. I assume that rhymes with "treason," or is the "son" pronounced like the word "son"?

No! I didn't betray you! I swear it!  (taking advantage of having a Robotnik avatar)

 

If anyone's wondering why I thought this was important enough to get its own topic: This should be helpful if (1) Sea3on Animated moves forward and gets more narrated advertisements, and (2) Paul is looking down on this topic with his little beaver eyes.

What about "Threeson"?

The "n" should be really, really stressed, in case someone thought we were referring to other thing...

[Uncle Ben]

I just say Season 3

[ILOVEVHS]

Season is my preference. It sounds cool, like some action TV show

I don't translate "netspeak" or whatever you wanna call it. So, it's "see-three-on", for me.

I've always just thought of it being pronounced as 'Season Three'. I'm not gonna call it 'sea-three-on' in the same way that I wouldn't say 'f-three-ar' (F3AR), 'the-four-f' (Thi4f, before they changed the title) etc.
