    I've never had an out loud conversation regarding her, but I have always pronounced Diana 'dye anne uh' in my head, and thus shortened to 'dye'. How do you pronounce it...

    ESL here, it has always been the same as "Lady Dee". Thinking about it as "Lady Dye" is blowing my mind.

    Note, Diana is pronounced as Dee-Ya-Na in my mother tongue, perhaps that's why it feels more natural

    I'm pretty sure the Brits always called her Lady Di (as in "dye") as that's how her first name is pronounced in English.

    I could've beaten it but only to the first story, second one's too sad.

    I wonder if copies of the original are worth anything. Like the "Dewey Defeats Truman" papers

    I think a lot of Nottheonion articles can beat the version they corrected.
