Neither. Ra-shun. Rhymes with stay-shun.

The issue is how to pronounce the “A”, and it varies based on dialect.

Depends if you are using as a noun or verb.

When used in rational, I believe it is pronounced as rash-in-ul. However, when used in ration, it is pronounced as ray-shun.

Any other opinions? Showjoe the problem with dictionary.com is that I couldnt find when to use each one a.k.a either rash-uhn or rey-shuhn!
