Well yeah, considering your location. Others around here, especially those hanging around the Liar's Bench would say "Gray-um".

Tp you would be saying it correctly as "Gray-um"! One my best friends belongs to that family with a town in Jeff Davis County GA named after them. Tp, you might be CEO of Popshot At Southerners ok but I would be a might more careful than a popshot ifn ya going to fire one off at all. We tend to shoot back. Nev3r noticed that tendency in ya before-kinda surprised me.

Words I never heard before, I usually pronounce the way they look. So, to me I will continue to pronounce it to myself as lie-big. It could very well be one of those words that I'll never speak to another person.
Some words just simply defy a single pronunciation. Take the word "oil". In S. Cack and other places in the South it would be pronounced ol - like you're saying the two letters seperately, O and L, but not el, just the sound L - kinda like owl, but with a hard o. I know a lady from Texax says, "all". People up North say, "o-eel" - what's up with that?
Every new member should read this before doing anything else:

I always enjoy watching US cooking programmes where they manage to mangle pronunciation so it ends up becoming wor- chester-shire or Wor-ce-stor sauce.
