I've heard it both ways

[Big Easy Pens Fan]

So how DO you pronounce Consol? Is it Con-saul or Con-sole? Thanks.

And while we're on the subject of pronunciation. The PA announcer, when the Pens take the ice before games, it sounds to me like he is saying "your Pittsburgh Panguins". Am I the only one who has noticed this, or is it just because I say "y'all" and you say "yinz"?

Agreed. I don't like the way he announces "Ca-ros-by".

I worked (and retired) from Consol, and this is the way most employees say it, with emphasis on "sahl".

Do you say it Neil or Neal?

[Jopaz]

I think years ago the company was the Consolidated Coal Company, and later shortened the name.
So pronounce it like you would "consolidated" and drop the last part.

No Psych reference in this thread with the title it has makes me sad face.

Based on where the Western PA accent is typically spoken, from the back of the tongue and into the throat, I think it's easy for a Western Pennsylvanian to say "CAWN-soul." I've also heard "cawn-SOUL."

Personally, I say "con-SALL" because "Consol" is short for "consolidated." Most Americans wouldn't say "CAWN-soul-idated" or "cawn-SOUL-idated." We'd say "cawn-SALL-idated." Also, I've lost about 99% of the W. PA accent, although you can still tell where I'm from when I say certain words like "conference" (we tend to say it much like Canadians do) and "mum." I also hear "con-SALL" in ads with "unaccented" mid-Atlantic American speech.

All this to say say...yeah, what Jopaz said. (I just saw her response! )

Do you say it Neil or Neal?

I say "Kneel" and am taunted relentessly for it.

Correct. Consol Energy was originally then "Consolidated Coal Company" - Consol is short for Consolidated.
