11. Another Northerner for koo-pon
My mom, the phonetics nazi, made me say koo-pon. I, in turn, did the same with my kids.

13. My mother has always said q-pon, and I grew up saying q-pon.
However, when I went to radio school, we had koo-pon drilled into our heads, and I have not been able to break that habit since.

7. Q-pon here.
But I've heard it both ways and consider both the "correct" way.

9. I say it both ways.
Sometimes "cue-pon" sometimes "coo-pon"
