Uh, no. Gratis is Latin and since Spanish and many other languages are based on Latin it is a "Spanish word" if you don't know Latin you probably don't really know how to pronounce Gratis. By the way this isn't the first time this has been asked, you may wanna use that friendly search feature.

Although I would pronounce it "Grah-tees," the CEO in the TechTV interview pronounced it "Grat-isss."

Have you been hiding all this time and suddenly decided to be an unhelpful asshole all over the forums, or were you just drunk last night?
