It never occurred to me that it was pronounced like the bug.

That's why there is a bug in the logo I was told.

RE: Leebla: That's why there is a bug in the logo I was told.

i never realized it sounded like "cricket" until someone mentioned that's why the bug was their logo. hmmm, makes sense.

I always called it a Cry-Cut until I heard a friend call it a cricket. Then it dawned on me with all the people saying "in love with a bug" LOL!

If you look at the ProvoCraft website, I believe that it's pretty clear that you call it the cricket. Why else would they use the bug as the logo?!?!?!?

I know it's pronounced like the bug but I still say cry-cut because I just think that's the strangest spelling for that pronunciation. I'm weird that way.

lol - the lady that works the sb department at our HL always calls it a "cree cut" I asked her why she pronounced it that way and she said well thats whats its called.. and i said oh I thought it was the "Cricket" since there is a bug on it. She looked at me with a very confused look... and then I felt bad because I think I made her feel stupid

Cree cut could just be the accent of the person if they are in the south. But I call it a criket since I learned better. Sight unseen I said crycut because of the spelling . I love mom's , I want the big one though.

I say Cricut because of the bug but my sil says Crycut.
I used to pronounce Bazzill like it rhymed with Brazil. Then I read that it rhymes with Razzle. Who knew?

At Expo recently, I overheard a vendor telling a customer about the "Cull-OOOOOOZE-ul" (her emphasis on "ooze" kept going on and on). I'm pretty sure it's a Cull-UZ-ul (rhymes with puzzle) since it's for cutting the way you'd cut a puzzle.

Manufacturers need to print a pronunciation guide, I guess!

I watched an infomercial on the Cricut last night. They kept saying "cricket." I was in M's with my friend, and we were in the die-cutting aisle. I was picking out Cuttlebug stuff and telling my friend I wanted to invest in a Cricut at tax-return time. This rather large, rather RUDE woman stalked past us, and snapped, "It's pronounced CRY-cut!" Um. NO! It's NOT! They why is there a cute little cricket on the package??? Hmmmmmm??????

I watched a little video online at the CK website months ago. Lisa Bearnson was discussing her favorite things, and the Coluzzle was one of them. And she, too, called it "Cull-oozle." I would think Lisa Bearnson would know?

I just want the regular one, I don't really have a need to cut 12x12. I could see where that would come in handy for a teacher, but for me, who's only been diecutting for a year, I don't need it.

I used to say Bazzill the same way, like Brazil. Then I learned the right way to say it. Mentioned to my friend using Bazzill cs in this color or that, and she's like, "WHAT?"

They're both "bug" machines so I guess that's why they use the logo.

Manufacturers need to learn to spell!!!

The word 'Cricut' should be pronounced Cry-cut, which is how I first pronounced it.
Now, I understand it's intended as a cute way of spelling cricket, although it would make more sense as "cric-kut" or "crik-cut".

Depending on what part of the country you're from, "creek-cut" could be pronounced cricket. LOL

It's nice to know I'm not the only one.

I almost insist on pronouncing it "cry-cut," as a matter of principle.

It never occurred to me that it could be said with a Long I sound. I've never heard it said that way anywhere either. Maybe because of the cricket that is its "mascot".

I know I was pronouncing it cry-cut because I had never seen the machine so didn't see the bug on it.
