It's pronounced Pah-ket, it doesn't sound like bucket or that other thing you were thinking of either.

7. I'm glad I wasn't the only one who thought of that question.

I'm sure at least one journalist asked it, though. You think?

8. ok that's the third version I've seen

Now I'm confused:

POO ket, PHU ket, or Pah Ket.... ?

9. LOL...Do you remember

Is it Osama or Usama?

Just the other day, there was a Chain-ee vs. Cheen-ee discussion.

10. It's closer to POO than Pah, I'll admit. I was trying to describe a

softer sound for the first syllable. It's more Pooh than BOO! sounding, at least from what I've heard.
