Re: Pronounciation of caching
You can't claim it's regional, since we grew up in the same small town and I say "kayshing"!The Silver Snitch wrote:ahhhhhhhhh well I understand those who say Kaysh, but to me a SOUTH AUSSIE, its cash and cashing!!

BTW, when are you going to correct the spelling of this thread's title?
Re: Pronounciation of caching
I realise there is little point in flogging this very dead horse, but I've just spent an idle few minutes re-reading this whole thread and these points seem to stand out to me:
1. The "cash" pronunciation is often referred to as "American", but it is just as much "English" - ask any geocacher in England how they pronounce cache.
2. The "kaysh" pronunciation seems to have arisen when it was applied to computer storage - why, I don't know.
I guess the first geocachers in Oz were computer geeks, so . . .
