I don't pronounce it with a "t" at all.

I'd be inclined to say it fan-see, but then again, I am a Canadian, eh?

Apparently I'm Canadian too then.

Hey, neat! Where's my Canadian passport, eh?

That'd be one cake walk of a citizen test!

Whenever possible, I try to settle most disputes with the assistance of Miss Bobbie Gentry.

"Faintsy" doesn't rhyme with schmancy at all.

This Yank says fan-see.

I'm Canadian too. Cool!

Heh. I'm a fan-see fan, myself.

"Faintsy"? No, not that.

Rhymes with pants. Ee.
