I guess that makes it sound like "Live, journal!".

I've always thought of it as long i. It's a journal, appearing live!

Absolutely all of my friends have a livejournal, and they all pronounce it with a short i in the Mark H way. So there.

Um, I meant a long i. Oops. What Mark Said, anyway.

I thought this thread was going to be asking whether it's LIVEjournal or liveJOURnal. I say the former, with a long i.

i mean, since the opposite is DEADjournal, it has the be "LIVE" as in "aLIVE", otherwise deadjournal would be diejournal.

I was confused by that.

How do Austrian rockers Opus pronounce it???

― MarkH (MarkH), Monday, 26 July 2004 15:36 (twenty-one years ago)

Maybe we should use 'liveJOURnal' for the individual journals and 'LIVEjournal' for the organisation that hosts them.

― caitlin (caitlin), Monday, 26 July 2004 15:37 (twenty-one years ago)

They pronounce it "LJ".
