Hmm, just about. The "W" is kinda silent, but the mouth seems to make the proper movement for it.

the o->e transition makes the same sound as a "w" would.

Buoy can be pronounced as either booeee or boy. There are many words that have two perfectly acceptable pronunciations. Step outside of your box.

You are aware that you linked the secondary pronunciation of buoy, right? Clever oversight.

The first is http://www.merriam-webster.com/cgi-bin/audio.pl?buoy0001=buoy

Which makes your version the odd, non-mainstream one.

Not to mention that "boo-ee" seems to be the main pronunciation, with boi being secondary. If anything, Drako should be the one lecturing everyone else about tolerating multiple pronunciations.

Bug bunny says it as 'boy' in an old looney tunes episode. In fact, it's used as a verbal gag, 'it's a boy!'

 

[ScottyB]

I pronounce it the correct way.

If you couldn't tell, I was kidding. If you notice I posted the second pronounciation in my link, but I guess I'm being a bit obtuse.
