Well-behaved women

rarely make history.

LOL like my phonetic spelling there? I for some reason cringe when I hear it pronounced "koo-pons." Aaaack.


But yeah, I do clip coupons when I get a chance. I don't do it religiously or anything.

Cringe all you want. Koo-pon is right. LOL

"Coupon

The word is "coupon." It is pronounced "koo´-pon." Coupon."

While "kyoo´-pon" is an alternate pronunciation, "koo´-pon" is preferred."

This is from   http://www.accesscom.com/~dave6592/pronounce.html. The dictionary shows the same.
