WTF?!?

How would you pronounce "thread closed for complete gayness?"

"Th-red Cl-osed for com-plete Gay-ness"

I've always said bay-ta in keeping with Classical pronunciation, but

is better still.

Bay-ta = American
Bee-ta = British

That's according to all the usual sources (Dictionary.com, Merriam-Webster Dictionary, Wikipedia etc.)

Ive never heard a British person say "Bee-ta" and I will slap any one who does. It is "Bay-ta" as the Greeks intended.
