I know this is a stupid question, but it's driving me nuts.

Is it pronounced like the word "meddle?" That's my guess, but it doesn't sound quite right. Help me please. :)

Hmm, I always thought it was meh-DILL. Stressing dill. But I certainly don't know for sure.

Hmmm, that's a possibility too.

Anyone know for sure?

muh-DILL (or meh-DILL depending on, I guess, how fast you say it).

I concur with the accented second syllable... I know i've heard it once or twice before, but knowing me, it's not unlikely that i've forgotten...

A Dill Pickle with a Meh in front of it! LOL

I'm Canadian, so and when I say 'Medill' people think I'm messing up 'McGill', if that's any indication. (As in, it rhymes)
