Hm. Now that I think of it, I say "presentation" both ways. Depends on ....well, I don't know what. I just do. :-)

Ditto.

Double dittoes, Rush.

[csbermack.livejournal.com]

Yeah, me threes.

[chaiya.livejournal.com]

Me, too. I think I *read* it as a the first, and tend to pronounce it audibly as the second, but that's not always the case, either. Odd.

[angwantibo.livejournal.com]

Me too.

[ephemera.livejournal.com]

much closer to set than seat, but not quite the same way I pronounce the second E, which is *exactly* like I pronounce set. the first e is a bit further back in the mouth? Still 'presentation' not 'preeesentation' though.

As a rule of thumb I give a prehsentation, but I admire the preesentation of food on my plate. Or maybe I'm just making that up and I use the two interchangeably.

[malkaesther.livejournal.com]

I think you are right about how you do it.

[kuroshii.livejournal.com]

yes! me too.

[caryabend.livejournal.com]

Kinda similar to the aboves re: presentation.

[estherchaya.livejournal.com]

I alternate equally between the possible options to pronounce presentation. I'm inconsistent that way.

I think I mostly say the second (set), but I'm pretty sure that I do occasionally utter the first (seat).
