Default Bayesian question..

..how do you pronounce it? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I've only read about it, and have been pronouncing it like "bi-asian", but realise it is probably more likely pronounced "beige-an". Please help me before I make a fool out of myself in the real world (as opposed to here, where it doesn't matter as much!)

Bays + ian

Pronounce the "bayes" part just like "bays" of water.

I think "beige-an" is OK too. I've got a piece of paper that says I understand that stuff and that's how I pronounce it anyway.
