How do you pronounce "EcoModder"?
Just curious...
Does it match up with the way you say "economic" or "ecological" or "ecosystem"?

I figured it was Economy + Modifier = Ecomodder. "economic" would probably make more sense, but it sounds wrong to me. So, EEco-modder it is. |

I thought you meant commodore, before your visual. I guess some might say there's not much difference!
Also, in answer of your question I do say EEcomodder, just like I say EEconomic, EEcological, etc.

I've always gone with the first one (EEcomodder). I guess that's because it's similar to how I've always heard "eco" pronounced in other vehicle context. For exaple, Ford's EcoBoost, the Chevy Cruze Eco, etc. Then again, maybe other people don't pronounce those "EEco..."
A while back I saw this article, which I thought was pretty interesting. It's maps of the US showing linguistic differences by regions. Things like pronunciation of "caramal", "aunt", "crayon", "garage", "pecan" etc. as well as other expressions such as "garbage can" vs "trash can", "mow the yard" vs "cut the grass", "frosting" vs "icing", etc.
