Alcon,
There is a significant issue that has been identified within my alliance.
It revolves around the Gila.
Wikipedia and Merriam Webster dictionary basically pronounce it as such: The Gila monster (Heloderma suspectum, /-êhi-Él+Ö/ HEE-l+Ö).
Many eve players pronounce it GEE-la.
CCP and fellow C&P members. I need your help clearing this up ASAP. People may start killing each other.
Also... 'Murica. |

The crime is clearly in the continuation of the slaughter when pronouncing Gila. |

I am a free capsuler. I stand for freedom and liberty against the tyranny of would-be dictators such as yourself. I play this game however I please, I do not allow anybody to dicatate to me how this game should be played because it's a sandbox. Similarly I will pronouncimicate words in a manner solely of my own choosing. Geela Geela Geela.

I'm pretty sure the "J" in "Gila" is silent.
But, my Italian is rusty.

I have a measurable increase in blood pressure when people call a rokh a rock.
Anyone that does not understand this needs to watch "I'm in a rokh" from galaxy punks.

Money at its root is a form of rationing.
When the richest 85 people have as much wealth as the poorest 3.5 billion (50% of humanity) it is clear where the source of poverty is.

I'm honestly more concerned about the fact that some people still pronounce Amarr,
A-mar. When it should be Uh-Marr.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gila_%28genus%29
That FISH genus has a latin name, and all those other fishes from the same genus have the name Gila in it. As a latin speaker (ikr), I can confirm that that G is a hard one... so GEELA
But in the end I think its up to you
Heela = mexican lizard Geela = 'murican fish
