So weird that you brought this up - had this discussion with someone last night. She says eht-see, I say eat-see.

You say potato, I say patatah

You say tomato, I say tomata?

neesernicole

in my head it's always been eat-sy but when i told my mom about it, that sounded funny out loud.

I say ehhhtsy. Eat-sy does sound funny when you say it out loud.

I say et-see, but I have a friend who actually says e-t-s-y every time, like ESPN lol. It makes me laugh every time. Do the letters stand for anything?

According to the guy who founded the website, it is pronounced with a short E - ehtsy.

I believe it is a play on the abbreviation "etc."
