    Is it YAhoo or YahOO? Americans put the accent on the "A", while most europeans I know put it on "OO".
    If you click on the exclamation mark on Y! main page you will hear the corect pronunciacion(by Yahoo), which I think is more YahOO than YAhoo.
    Anyway it would be really funny to hear some kid playing and screaming "YAhoo! YAhoo! You know, like the website!".
    What do you think?

    'Yah' as in 'jar'
    'hoo' as in 'who'
    But that's just me.

    I don't say it much. It'd be yeah-who, if I did. Although I can dig yaw-who as well. I don't know why you'd put the emphasize on the "OO".
