    Aqualung71 - Great idea for a poll.

            I've also heard it as k-LOS p-OLL.

              NM.....You mean it's quite tight, or you want it shut?

              Vince.....yeh thanks. And this is a very good moment to give partial credit to Vince278 for this excellent poll. I guess it's time we started our own mutual admiration society
              So if you meet me have some courtesy, have some sympathy and some taste
              Use all your well-learned politesse, or I'll lay your soul to waste

                    I always think Fozzie Bear when pronouncing Hwach'a. Regardless of the correct way to pronounce it, I will always say "Wocka wocka."

                      I apologize for bringing up the topic! (see the Curragh poll)

                      Anyhow, I pronounce it either whah'-cha (where 'wh' is pronounced as a single consanant combining w and h) or h-wah'-cha. The ' indicates the stressed syllable.

                        I'd rather have it tight instead of shut.

                        And this is also a good moment to give partial credit for the partial credit that was partially credited. You know what they say: Great minds think alike.
