toll-me!. you actually do say the t a little different because it has the p in front of it, but its close enough and there is no way to type the small difference in the sound!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Tollomee!.

Like Wodehouses's Psmith, the P is silent (but he could always tell when people forgot to pronounce it)!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Drop the P is should be said as Tol - uh - mee!.
