Malvaceae Veri	Posted - 2009.05.13 20:11:00 - [91] Well, yes. So, newzflash, kids, Cicero's name should be pronounced Kikero.
K'uata Sayus	Posted - 2009.05.13 20:11:00 - [92] How in blazes do you know how I'm pronouncing ships names?? I don't have Eve-voice or Ventrillo or whatever. I only get some idea when I'm watching the Alliance tournament, and correct my pronunciation then. And since it's "kurr-burr-us" I don't think I'll buy one now. So there. EVERYONE SEEMS NORMAL UNTIL YOU GET TO KNOW THEM.

Malvaceae Veri	Posted - 2009.05.13 20:15:00 - [94] Maybe those of us who are tired with the atrocious grammar and pronounciation this leet-speak generation produces.

Plumpy McPudding	Posted - 2009.05.13 20:18:00 - [96] Originally by: Malvaceae Veri Maybe those of us who are tired with the atrocious grammar and pronounciation this leet-speak generation produces. Then you'd want to focus on the core of proper writing and grammar, rather than the correct pronunciation of ship names. Time to get those teaching certifications and get to work. __________________________ Fear me for I have an insatiable appetite!

Malvaceae Veri	Posted - 2009.05.13 20:21:00 - [97] Originally by: Tippia àalso, I demand the return of properly pronounced -ae endings! No. Haardraade and Godwinson have been, sadly, beaten by that upstart little Guillaume, thus the predominance of northern germanic in the anglo-saxon/english language sadly is no more.
Turiel Demon Minmatar Shadow Reapers	Posted - 2009.05.13 20:24:00 - [98] Well, this sure is an exciting and fun thread Also, it has come to my attention that I'm really in need of a proper signature.
Kat Bandeis Caldari Deep Core Mining Inc.	Posted - 2009.05.13 20:42:00 - [99] So, not only do we all have to PLAY the way a few small want us to, we now have to TALK the way a few small want us to? Uh-huh... I'll get right on those (incorrect) pronunications. :)
SpaceSquirrels Caldari	Posted - 2009.05.13 20:50:00 - [100] Originally by: Kat Bandeis So, not only do we all have to PLAY the way a few small want us to, we now have to TALK the way a few small want us to? Uh-huh... I'll get right on those (incorrect) pronunications. :) Usually talking the same way others do is quite the useful skill in life. Also pronouncing words the same way lets people know they're talking about the same thing. E.G. So the whole Rohk...as rock or rohk thing. You know the "rock is the best sniper." "What's a rock?" However the "Toe ma to" vs "toe mat to" thing means you're just being an *******. _________________________ I disagree...

Alejan Gerakh Minmatar ShadowMoon Inc.	Posted - 2009.05.13 21:41:00 - [101] Hm. I'd say Nyphur sounds like he got it mostly on-target. And not all of us Americans sound like hick rednecks. I pride myself on my tendency of not adding 'r's or dropping 'r's like an inbred moron, or most other oddities of various American regions. I did not succumb to my home city's dialect, though I will make fun of it often enough. I also tend to try and pronounce things distinctly and accurately, as well as quickly. I use 'roke' to distinguish the battleship from any other possibility, especially since I'm used to Roc being pronounced that way, for whatever reason. And I felt I had the Norse/Icelandic names rather good until hearing that pronunciation mp3 file, but I was still pretty close, it seems. I'm also rather familiar with Japanese pronunciation of romajii-converted words, so same for those Caldari ships. And all you people who thinks it's geela deserve all the ridicule you're getting- I was born on the American East coast and I know its hee-la! Sheesh... same for everyone who pronounces 'sc' as 'sk' ... I had absolutely no idea anyone would be ******ed enough to do that (the thought never even crossed my mind that there might be mispronunciations!), but I must be naive. And it's so unnecessary and wasteful to add a sound that doesn't exist in a given word. Something else for you people: Get Firefox and let it spellcheck your posts on-the-fly if you need help spelling for posts. Or if another browser features a spellchecker for text fields, then use that if that's your preference. This isn't an instant-message service, after all; this is a forum. And, finally, on the matter of Jaguar... if you're not Portuguese, or South American, or (most especially) haven't studied ancient Brazilian languages, you have no grounds for dictating how everyone else must pronounce it. Have fun. ---- "Sounds like a bad case of pikal envy, if you ask me." Chief Engineering Officer - got the tools to fix your problems.
Siigari Kitawa Gallente The Aduro Protocol Total Comfort	Posted - 2009.05.13 22:06:00 - [102] MY TURN MY TURN!

Governor LePetomane Rock Ridge Brokerage Solutions	Posted - 2009.05.13 23:46:00 - [105] Originally by: Ralara Jaguar - jag you ah (not jag waar) Sorry, no. And I'm not saying "al yew MIN ee um," "maths" or "crisps" either, that's just teh ghey. Also: Quote: Gila - Gee la (hard G) The word is Spanish, as it was Spaniards who named the li'l bastard: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gila_monster In Spanish, g is pronounced like an h when followed by an i, thus the "correct" pronunciation is actually "Hee- La." I don't GAF what you call it though because I don't have a big honking rod shoved up my posterior.
Aisley Tyrion The Penumbra Initiative OWN Alliance	Posted - 2009.05.13 23:56:00 - [106] How about the Minmatar fighter "einherji"? I have no trouble pronouncing it the way I'd do it in my native language (which is Finnish) but how should it be pronounced 'the English style'? I had a discussion with a corp mate about this some time ago and figured the easiest way would be to drop -ji from the end and pronounce it as 'ein-her'.
Guillame Herschel Gallente Buffalo Soldiers	Posted - 2009.05.14 00:09:00 - [107] Originally by: Ralara Gila - Gee la (hard G) Nope. It's Hee-la. No hard-G anywhere. *-- The Theorem Theorem: If If, Then Then* --**

SpaceSquirrels Caldari	Posted - 2009.05.14 01:49:00 - [111] YEEEHOOOO!!! them Geelar Monsters is out again. This is what happens when you combine "British" and "red neck". I'd have to say this post and the replies for it has been one of my all time forum favorites. _________________________ I disagree...
JavelinGR	Posted - 2009.05.14 02:25:00 - [112] Maybe someone else already explained it, I don t know, but here s a hint. Greek language treats the combination of letters "ei" and "oi" like the "i" letter.(There are a few exceptions). They re pronounced the same, the difference is only on the written form. So pronounce oneiros, as u would pronounce oniros. Same goes for Deimos, too.

Kyra Felann Gallente Noctis Fleet Technologies	Posted - 2009.06.02 00:08:00 - [117] Originally by: Kessiaan Received Pronunciation (or some derivation thereof), which is used most places in Europe, is non-rhotic. Most places in North America speak with a rhotic dialect. This the core of what makes English English sound English and North American English sound American. Out here in the midwest, a lot of people (mostly older folks) randomly insert "R" sounds into "sh" sounds (thus, wash becomes 'warsh', etc). I hate it because it makes them sound like country hillbillies, even though most of them are, in fact, country hillbillies so you can hardly hold that against them. First, I'm familiar with "received pronunciation", but according to the very article you cite, only 2% of Britons speak with a received pronunciation, and I'm pretty sure it's not used all over Europe, either. Hell, there are many accents on the British Isles alone, just like there are across North America. Second, I'm fully aware of the difference between rhotic and non-rhotic pronunciation. This isn't an European vs North American issue like you say, since Scottish accents, for instance, are rhotic, while many northeastern North American accents are non-rhotic. All I was saying is that it seems silly for someone, speaking in the same accent, to leave off the R sound where it's written, then add it in somewhere else where it's not. But thanks for looking things up on Wikipedia for me that I'm already fully aware of.

"Jaguar" is a word in the English language, no matter where it may have come from. Many words in English are from other languages, but that doesn't mean that speakers of the language from which the word came get to tell us how to pronounce our version of the word in our language. In North America, it's generally "jagwar", while at least in England (I'm not sure about the rest of Britain), it's "Jagyuuh" or something silly like that. It's as simple as that.
Brazero Amarr Noble House	Posted - 2009.06.02 00:24:00 - [119] Originally by: Ralara Originally by: sesanti I think you should state that you would be doing it wrong if you were trying to pronounce those names in English. In other languages they are pronounced differently! There are no other languages. And you are a moron, simple as that. Americano phsyco babbel most of it. Originally by: Rodj Blake CCP are planning to give Amarrians some "oomph" Unfortunately, "oomph" is the sound one makes when kicked repeatedly in the ribs.
