What about Isom Rd?
Eye-zum or Is-um?
I've heard it both ways...
Funny I never realized how many weird pronunciations there are here in SA until reading this. I guess they are just second nature to me!!

OK, I say eye-zum, too, but one time I was test driving a car over there and the salesguy told me to turn on Is-um. It's not much of a road so I rarely hear it said. I thought maybe I had been saying it wrong all this time, but maybe he was just new in town.  |

It's "Eye-some" - at least that's how everyone in my family says it and they've lived here since the 1940s.
Though, sometimes when we're tired, lazy...or drunk...it does turn into "eye-zum"

I've only heard it pronounced "Kile Seal-ee" by people who live in that area. |

"Seale" is pronounced just like the seal that you can see at Sea World... (at least that is how Mr. Kyle Seale would pronounce it, and I think he should know)

Yep...if that's how the man pronounces it, then that's what it is. That was my point when I pronounced Alvarado "Al-vuh-rah-doh" and not "Al-vuh-ray-doh". That is how people with that last name pronounced it.  |
