Did Eddie ever learn how to pronounce "Ament"?

I don't know how its actually pronounced, but I've heard Eddie say it a number of different ways over the years.

for example:
A-ment - like how you say the letter "A"
AH-ment - like "Amen" with a "t" on the end.
AM ent


and yes, I have the day off and nothing better to do...wanna fight about it?

    This is rather amusing, Eddie has been pronouncing JA's name forever...it is pronounced A-ment, as in rhyming with Amen...
    I hold the pain, release me!

    Some people say A-men some people say aw-men. Notably, nobody says it Uh-men.

    More importantly, Stone says that it is 'A-ment', and whenever Stone speaks, you listen.

    I've noticed that recently, he has been pronouncing it "ay-meant" - maybe Jeff finally educated him after all those years? :lol:

    I just heard Ed get it right and THEN wrong on the Manchester 6/21/12 boot. He said, "Please say hello to Jeff Ay-ment! .... Uh-ment!" :lol: Why can't he remember?!?

    I have often wondered about how to pronounce Jeff last name - and Eddie is NOT really helping!
