I've been saying Leh-STAT

Stat as in the hospital "STAT" rhyming with sat.

I think it's more like Le-STAHT.

The ghetto version is "Les-dot". At least, according to Anne Rice.

Not Hugh Panaro or Tom Cruise is how I say it!

Ack, Great, now someone needs to go rent interview with a vampire!...

So I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized, ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life.~Office Space

On the making of featurette Ms. Rice says staht and everyone else (Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, and the director) says stat, but I think Rice has the final say, so staht it is.

I've always said "staht"

Which is also how my old French teacher said it...and how Hugh Panaro's been saying it.
