Title Text: Well it made ME taller, but I won't get into that
It's because you're short, Bino

I know, seriously. And the worst part is that no one ever believes me when I tell them that this is how it's pronounced...Dissension wrote:I like that, even after Rick and I posted the correct pronunciation for years, and I made a video about it, most of the comments are "I didn't think Bino was pronounced that way."
Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuure you have.SuperStar wrote:I've pronounced it as Bye-no since the beginning. Seriously.

I've always thought of Joey's name as a punchline. 'Cause it's like Fido and Bino, two names that are built similar, then Joey, a completely different styled name and rather generic.Mickey wrote:Probably a family thing. Fy-doh. Bye-no. Joey's name might be pronounced different as well, who knows?

I always imagined it was pronounced "Beano" this whole time too. Don't think my mind is ever gonna accept this "official" pronunciation either.Gbr23 wrote:I have been calling you Beano since I started reading HP, I'm not going to change now
I know for a fact that any time I say or see Bino's name, I will never hear "Bye no" in my mind. I think my mind is broken, how did I not know this?The Blue Fox wrote:I always imagined it was pronounced "Beano" this whole time too.

I don't think it is working, I read Dinosaur right, but then I read it Beanosaur...GameCobra wrote:I know Dino was referenced, but Fred calls him "Dee-no", and that's also possible confusion. If you have trouble pronouncing Bino's name, just remember it like this: Bino's name has the exact same word tone as Dinosaur. Just don't call him a Binosaur. =P

I honestly don't see how you'd come to that. It'd probably make more sense if Bino happened to have a ring around both eyes, thus giving him the appearance of a victim to a certain binocular prank, but he doesn't.Perfesser_Bear wrote:Maybe it's just me, but I always thought that since he didn't have a ring around one eye (Fido's right eye, Joey's left eye), he was Bino, short (* snerk *) for Binocular.

Technically he will still be a dog once initiated. How did he even convince them to initiate him. He's a complete stranger to most if not all of them.
I discovered the comic sometime after the second book was released, so a couple of years now. Even before I came into the forums, I pronounced it "Bye-no" for two reasons; "Bea-no" just didn't seem right to me with how it was spelled, and I was aware of a product called "Bean-O."Dissension wrote:I like that, even after Rick and I posted the correct pronunciation for years, and I made a video about it, most of the comments are "I didn't think Bino was pronounced that way."

And his brothers, Fidosaurus Rex, and Joey!Douglas Collier wrote:Binosaurus Rex! XD
I actually have no clue, I called him Beano for some reason after looking at his name. I have no clue where I got it, but it seemed right to me. I know that when I asked some of my other friends how to pronounce it today, they also said beano, I had no clue at all people pronounced it byeno, let alone that it was the correct pronunciation.GameCobra wrote:Where did the bean come from?!?

I probably never will. It just sounds better in my mind after 6 months, and my mind just reads it that way. It is just like Absol, I just can't force myself to correct it because it sounds better to me. the only thing I ever corrected my pronunciation on is Nyan Cat I believe.Amazee Dayzee wrote:I only saw your pronunciation video a couple of months ago. Even STILL, I can't rid my habit of calling him "Bean-o" for some reason.
