I think I remember reading on the Adium X website that it was pronouced to rhyme with "stadium". I'll try to find it now.

EDIT: Meh, I think I saw it on the old site.

I am saying:

AW-DEE-UM

weirdly enough, I also pronounce it aw-dee-um. I know it's wrong, but, for whatever reason, that's what I said at first and now it's stuck.

Power to the people!!!!!! its ok little buddy... we stand alone... but were still the coolest.

Maybe we should just rename Adium to Naked Womens and Beer Eeum to avoid further confusion.

edit: er, without the 't', too; thanks Tipo 61.

I guess I'm alone on this. I pronounce it Ah-dee-um. The 'Ah' sounds like the 'a' in 'Ha'

No, two other people pronounced it Aw-dee-um.

The old site did say that it officially rhymes with stadium, but that not even the whole dev team says it like that anyway.

I am of the Add-ee-um crowd, myself.

Teh Iser says it to rhyme with Adium, I believe. Oh, and I do. So it must be better/right.

That's sexist.

I used to call it Add-ee-um, but read on some page on the Adium site it was pronounced like 'stadium' without the 'st'. Hence Ae-dee-um.

Adium rhymes with Adium? Would never have seen that one coming! Kinda like Lou Gherig dying of Lou Gherig disease...
