ManOfHonor	Posted - 2006.01.02 07:16:00 - [31] Edited by: ManOfHonor on 02/01/2006 07:17:21 Basically its any way you want.. I have heard someone call my Muninn a 'Mewnin' (WTF?!).. And some guys I know say 'yump' instead of 'jump' (not sure if they do it on purpose or not...) one person even told me I was a 'complete bastit' instead of 'lord of the universe' (a most perplexing pronunciation...) I have never heard anyone spell out H-A-C, but I am others would know whaat you are talking about.. (I have heard them called assault cruisers, heavy assault cruisers, HACs(Hacks), and heavy assault ships)... One fellow even typed it out 'h4x' A couple months ago alot of people insisted that it was HAS, not HAC.... But they got steamrolled by the vast majority of people whom appreciated how much easier it was to say Hack instead of H-A-S, or risk the confusion of HAS with has... I also believe devs may have called them HACs, and that influenced many players... edit Koulematon- Kwho-uhl-eh-maton ?? _____________________________ NPC Asteroid Belt Bases Honor Above Self Glory For Self Strength Of Self
Marcus Thrawn	Posted - 2006.01.02 07:47:00 - [32] What about Iteron? Do you pronounce it it-ER-on or EYE-ter-on?

I'm pretty sure they did.

Kuolematon	Posted - 2006.01.02 08:35:00 - [35] Whoa .. It's as simply as Kuo-le-ma-ton Azuriel Talloth: If it ain't broke, change it so it mildly annoys the playerbase
Nikolai Nuvolari	Posted - 2006.01.02 08:40:00 - [36] Originally by: Kuolematon Whoa .. It's as simply as Kuo-le-ma-ton Well I was trying to type that out with a completely phonetic spelling. Typing that way isn't phonetically clear, for example "le" could be pronounced "lee", "lay", "leh", etc etc. Also the uppercase/lowercase shows emphasis. ----------------------------------------------------------------[04:04:04] Tom Thumb > for a nut case you rawk [04:21:15] Mebrithiel Ju'wien > Nik's bio 4tw btw

HippoKing	Posted - 2006.01.02 10:31:00 - [38] Originally by: Nyphur Originally by: Nikolai Nuvolari Originally by: Nyphur But in my defence, hack sounds stupid :p. On THAT point, I agree with you. Convenient, maybe so, but stupid sounding, yes. So much cooler to say H-A-C. I can imagine an evil overlord saying "SEND IN THE H-A-C!" but "SEND IN TEH HACK" doesn't quite have the same ring to it. true, but "omg i'm getting blobbed by H-A-Cs!" doesn't work as well as "omg i'm getting blobbed by hacks!"

Heh, actually it is, phoneticalally, spelled kuo-le-ma-ton. We finnish don't really "phonetic" things
El Yatta	Posted - 2006.01.02 10:53:00 - [43] Originally by: ManOfHonor Edited by: ManOfHonor on 02/01/2006 07:17:21 Basically its any way you want.. I have heard someone call my Muninn a 'Mewnin' (WTF?!).. It obviously IS pronounced 'Myoo-ninn', as this would imply that its partner, the Huginn (as in both of the Norse God Odin's Ravens), is 'Hyoo-ghinn'. Together, they sound very mythical and cool. If you try to call it 'Mhunn-inn', this gives you 'Hugg-inn', or, basically, Mining and Hugging. Clearly, a carebear pronunciation. ---:::---
Rakhan kane	Posted - 2006.01.02 11:16:00 - [44] Coming from a long history of wargames, I always find This list somewhat useful. Battleship = BB, but in this game, BB = Blackbird and battleship = BS Cruiser = CA or CL, depending. Maybe call normal cruisers CL and HACs CA. Destroyer = DD Frigate = FF Etc. Of course, as seen in the list, there are a myriad variants of each (it was so much easier in the good ole days), but that just makes life easier: Choose the designation that most resembles your current setup, and presto, friends won't have to ask what setup you have, they'll just look at your ship's name and go "ahh, a DDG, so you're in a missile-heavy configuration." :) And as to people wondering how to pronounce something phonetically: Grab the nearest dictionary, and check out the first entry for each letter: There's usually an explanation how to phonetically pronounce said letter. At least all the English dictionaries I've run into have had it.
Grimwalius d'Antan	Posted - 2006.01.02 11:22:00 - [45] Originally by: ManOfHonor And some guys I know say 'yump' instead of 'jump' (not sure if they do it on purpose or not...) Sounds like Swedes to me. We don't have the same "J" sound as in English. While the english J is said with the toungue fixed upon the roof of the mouth initially and then slid down while breathing out, the Swedish J (and other scandinavian countries) is simply just the breathing part without the stiff toungue against the roof.

Could be any germanic language bar English. Undoubtedly has something to do with English being the only Germanic language heavily influenced by French.

Rimhawk	Posted - 2006.01.02 13:02:00 - [55] Edited by: Rimhawk on 02/01/2006 13:03:26 Well I've always found EVE a bit odd in terms of abbreviations... Prior to playing EVE I had different associations for the abbreviations HAC, BS and POS... I remember getting quite angry during my first days online as a n00b when I made a comment and someone from the startercorp I was in said 'hey that's a BS!'... I thought he was referring to my comments and got a bit ****ed... He was actually referring to the first BS either of us had ever seen which was undocking from the station.... Rimhawk IX Technologies

Dark Shikari	Posted - 2006.01.02 13:31:00 - [58] Originally by: Nyphur Acronyms do not have a compound pronunciation. They are not words and are pronounced as individual letters. Wrong. That's called an initialism. But no, I pronounce it as Ache-Ay-See. - Proud member of the [23]. The Tachikomas are DEAD! Click sig for video.
