How do you pronounce "thread"?

[BigToque]

When talking about website postings or the number of "threads" an application has, how do you pronounce the word?

I've always pronounced it threed (kinda like Creed). (TH - READ)

It just sounds wierd to pronounce it Thread as in "Thread the needle"

I can't be the only one...

Thred, like Fred. Fred is dead. End of thread.

Indeed. The two things you listed as examples were both named from the fact that they were string-like (or thread-like). Therefore, you pronounce it the same.

It's pronounced like red. Conceptually it is the same as a piece of thread.

Do you pronounce "stack" as steak or steek?

"Threed"? Wow. No, it's pronounced like a piece of thread.

Well, I appear to be the only one that thinks the way I do, but I will continue to pronounce it the way I like to.

Thread is a one syllable word.

You mean incorrectly? This isn't a dialect issue. Didn't know it was up for discussion.

Heh, this is like some guy coming in and saying "What do you guys think 2 + 2 is? I think it's 5.". Then he gets bitch slapped for being an idiot, but still insists on 2+2 equaling 5.
