he pronounces it like I do, but with the accent on the A part, and not the BAND part

Isn't the main stress on the 'do' rather than on the 'a'?

Edit: I really have to stop making typos...:rolleyes:

:D Yep, that is the :Tom: himself. ;)

Like Tom - exactly the way it's written, with the accent on the 'O'.

me too - a-band-O-nya

Yes, but is it an 'o' as in 'dough' or an 'o' as in 'Tom'?

a-ban-dow-nja

or so :D

Well I say it differently to Tom. I say a-ban-done(as in cone but with a d)-knee-ah

Yep, the accent is on the O.

Yeah, me too - the first bit doesn't sound like "abandon" anymore, it's like "abandone" in the same way as IS.
