I'm with @fehervaria. As evidence I reference the aformentiond "Lido Shuffle" by Boz Scaggs, as well as on "The Love Boat", shuffleboard was always announced as being on the "lee doe" deck, not the "liddo" deck or "lie doe" deck

Ok fine, now lets do gif :trollface:
It's pronounced Lie-doh. I say that with all the authority of someone who's had absolutely no external consultation.
Shall we do the GIF pronunciation too? What about Bondi?

Hold up... Bon-dee? Bon-die? In Nebraska they would say "Baahn-dee"
Lido (pronounced lee-doh) is a slang word for a swimming area (pool or beach) throughout English and Italian speaking European countries. It also means beach or shore in Italian. On a cruise ship, the lido deck is where the pool is. Considering the developer was Surf City Software I tend to think Lido references a swimming area, hence the pronunciation lē-(ˌ)dō.

Wait, how is the correct pronunciation for Bondi even up for discussion? Its Bon-die, since its named after https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bondi_Beach

Think Branchus should be the last word on the pronunciation of Bondi. While the pronunciation of solder is up for debate!
I say lee-doh. Grew up going to a Lido's Italian restaurant, never heard any other pronunciation.
both the wrong way and the correct way sound the same to me.
i think everybody else is on secret missing to screw with me. claiming there is 2 ways when really its just one.
...
Although i realize its prolly just my own hearing that doesn't allow me to tell the difference between the two ways.
It's Bon-die. I promise you that if you come to Sydney and ask for directions to Bon-dee, you will get laughed at.
