Ok this is a little weird, but how do you pronounce "Etsy?" My friend insists it is "eeet-see" but I heard more people call it "Eh-tsee."
What do YOU say?

I pronounce Etsy as if it rhymes with Betsy-Wetsy. Like Marybeth, I haven't heard anyone else say it out loud.

If you go to the Etsy FAQ's, etc., they advise that you say Etsy to rhyme with "Betsy." They can't, however, tell you what "Etsy" stands for.......go figure....

getting ready.....
