Here is another one of those words that you see more than you hear (like emoticon).  I think I first heard of them from Scott Hanselman while reading about his personal systems of organization (very good).  Anywho, last week on my flight home from KC I was listening to Scott's podcast, Hanselminutes show #18, and he discussed his personal organization system.  In that I heard him pronounce Moleskine and boy what I waaaay off on the pronunciation.

I wouldn't have guessed it in 25 tries.  I've always pronounced it as mole-skin or mole-skine.  Negative, it's mol-a-skeen-a.

Giddy Up!

ps. I use the regular size ruled notebook.

Mol-a-skeen-a?!? He was making fun of the name, right? That's a joke, right?

David, I don't think so. I looked on Wikipedia and that's how they have it too. Weird I know.

Yep, that's the correct pronunciation. :) I use the 3x5 pocket size version with my Pilot G2 07 pen for keeping track of everything when I don't have my laptop handy. Working out great for me!

I've heard it "mol eh skeen ah" also. And that's what I've been using since (though people look at me funny). I love using my Hi-Tec-C pens and G-2 0.38s on em! http://www.jetpens.com/index.php/cPath/239_284_27

It's not THAT weird though, since their origin is French
