Here in western Canada, it's always "LEG-oh".

I am just clueless on this one. What is the right way to pronounce "Znap"

Is it "Z"-nap, Snap, or do you blend the "Z" into the "nap" for an • awkward
word that sounds like snap but with a "z" in place os the "s."

Anyone have the answer?

(nope)

It does prompt me to ask something I've been curious about for a while,
though...How is "LEGO" pronounced in different countries?

I know that everyone I know here (in Canada) pronounces it 'lay go', and I
suspect the same pronunciation holds across other English-speaking • countries.
However, when I was in the Netherlands a while back, my (wife's) cousins
pronounced it 'lay ho'.

Are there any other variations out there?
