I generally use the A pronunciation, but every now and then I catch myself saying it the other way too for some reason. I also have a serious mental block for pronouncing Cay correctly. I want to pronounce it as I see it, not "key".

I have used both before but Care-ib-be-an more so than Ca-rib-be-an.
I remember hearing somewhere that the correct pronouncation is Care-ib-be-an to the people who live in the Caribbean.
Good topic....I always hear people pronouning it both ways.

Clarification--I use "A" but with the letter a in the first syllable broader (Cahr), and accent on the 3rd syllable. It is also the dictionary's preferred pronunciation, as well as islanders for the most part. The "B" version accents the 2nd syllable.
