TEAR-oh but not the crying kind

I want to make a tarot deck with a carrot theme.

The CAH-roh tah-ROT.

Yep, that's how I say it. I picked TEAR-oh in the poll. Tear like tearing your pants, not like shedding a tear.

Probably depends on your accent. I say TAR-oh and so does everyone I know. Except my crazy cousin whom speaks like Madonna and pronounces it ta-ROW.

I was thinking of posting a similar poll because in most of the youtube videos I hear the word pronounced differently than I and those around me. I pronounce it tuh-ROW with an emphasis similar to Thoreau without the 'th' sound. Clear as mud? ;)

I never heard it pronounced TARE-oh until I started watching youtube deck reviews.

I pronounce it a la Francaise :) so TA-roh(t)! ( and none of the poll choices applied to me!)

An extremely English ta-Row.

She said she was
A Magic Mama
And she could throw a mean Tarot
And carried on without a comma
That she was someone I should know.
