Kar-i-be-an sounds a lot cooler so that's the correct way to pronounce it.

I always thought it was kah-ri-be-na, but I've never been that hot on climbing terms.

Yeah this. I flip flop based on what I'm talking about, and what sounds more fluid in conversation.

Same with caramel.

Every time I start to wonder if I'm pronouncing caramel wrong, I say "care-a-mel-ized" and "care-a-mel-corn" out loud, and realize how much of a mouthful it is. It's car-mel.
