I say it like type, also. The other way just sounds silly.

that's funny.. is that the reason why you ask for the pronunciation of skype?

i agee it is pronounced like type. i think its one of thoses thing with internet names where idiots pronounce things weird.

example: bebo...

Loads of (morons and (brit slang) chavs) pronounce it beb-bo
and there argument why it isnt prnounced more like bee-bo is "it dont have 2 ee's"

with normal people saying neither does be (as in to be)
Microsoft sam basically silenced most of them when he pronounced it bee-bo (in huge deep voice)
