Default Pronunciation of "Phenom."
I've heard people reference it like "fee--nom", but I always imagined it as a play on "venom." I mean, venom is just so damn cool.

And I'd like to think my dragon platform is venomous.

Definitely going with Fee-nom on this one

Venom just sounds funny. Plus, in the English language, the PH makes an F sound. But these seems Latin to me... Oh wait. English is based of Latin, isn't it?


Anyways...

Phenom -> Phenomenal
So basically, it's fee-nom.

It probably depends upon which part of the world you are from. Maybe in the US, its fee-nom. Is it pronounced differently elsewhere like England or Austrailia? I think they would say fay-nom or fin-num?

I never knew there was even a debate on how to pronounce it.
