Just curious, is BYOND pronounced more like "beyond" or "bond" or something else entirely?

"Pronunciation", but "pronounced". ;-)

In any case, it is intended to be "beyond". That's why there are all of the dangling "BYOND" uses all over the place. It's not just "Welcome BYOND!", it's "Welcome beyond!".

No, no...you're thinking of "GHOTI"...

"GH" as in "cough", "O" as in "women", and "TI" as in "nation"...

Yeah, it's too bad you can't just mix-and-match sounds like that.

No, I'm thinking of BYOND. I'll break it down for you:

BYO pronounced "f", as in "BYOND".... "n" prounced "i" like in "BYOND", and "D" pronounced "sh" like in "BYOND".

I pronounce it like BOND only with a Y between the B and the O, like Beyond, but with effort in it to NOT sound out the E

Why not? The people responsible for cough, women, and nation did. ;)

I pronounce BYOND as "Weeeeeee!" much to the annoyance of anyone in the room at the time.

If you want to know how to pronounce something, go to speech in your control panel and put in "Byond" You will get beyond :P OR you can just look at the stuff that says B(e)yond >.>
