Till as in "till a field" and DEH as in "debate"

deh sounds like death
dee sounds like debate or demon

I think he pronounces it like DUH-Bate instead of DEE-Bate.

I think next time i do a pronunciation poll, i should take the tome to learn the alt + numbers to spell out the work phonetically, thatll be much easier, no?

Dctionary.com says it should be pronounced tild-uh .. but I've always pronounced it/heart it til-day.. though I was only hearing/using it in Spanish class.
