The Drew Carey video reminds me of something. Why is it that when I hear people say "Second Life" they say "SEC-ond life", while when I say it, I say "SEC-ond LIFE"?
(Oh, dear; I'm in Andy Rooney mode. "Didja ever wonder why people say 'Second Life' the way they do?" I'd better stop now.)

I'm glad you pointed that out actually, Melissa. I wondered about it too, though put it down to regional accents. Torley says it, as do many of the Linden Lab commentators who I've heard. I opt for "SEC-ond LIFE", but it seems that saying it the other way may actually be better... acknowledging it as a life rather than a product. It's hard to describe how I think that way, but it's in that intonation.
In that respect, the Torley way sounds less copyright-infringing. ;)
I guess that "SEC-ond life" is how one would say it emphasizing the "second", i.e. contrasting with the first.
