Default Re: Need a pronunciation key

We were dicussing the same thing at a B&M friday. We were talking on how to pronounce Illusione. (Illusionay or Illusionee). Billy at the shop said he gets people who ask for CAO as "cow" and others. I have trouble sometimes with a few, but like Mugen910 said, your cash will not make them care how you say it. All else fails, ask how do they pronounce it.

Illusion. with the "e" silent.
Is how I've mainly heard it pronounced.

Just found out last night that Dion Giolito owns the local shop that I've been getting sticks from (Fumare in Reno, NV). Been seeing him once or twice a week for a couple months now, and I had no idea he was the owner of the Illusione brand as well. I'd planned on stopping by his place later today to pick up a couple of them, as I haven't tried them yet. I'll get the difinitive answer for you guys.

Confirmed it's Illusion (e is silent). Picked up an '888', cg:4, and f9. Will give them a spin this weekend and see how they go.
