Zathi Shaitan Minmatar Illiteracy Combatants	Posted - 2008.03.01 19:41:00 - [5] Edited by: Zathi Shaitan on 01/03/2008 19:41:33 Apart from the Abaddon (which is NOT aba[n]don) and the Harbinger (think Har[m]b[r]inger), everything else is decent. ---- " Several unconventional alliances where made at that point " - Hey CCP, "where" != "were".. you too, Brutus?
Daziel Iaar Amarr PIE Inc. Praetoria Imperialis Excubitoris	Posted - 2008.03.01 19:43:00 - [6] Its not Harmbringer its Har-bin-jer, one of the commentators got it right while the other still says Har-bing-er "For God and Empire"
Avalira Caldari	Posted - 2008.03.01 19:53:00 - [7] Just call the Harbinger a Hamburger --- Selling Rokh BPO ME 45
Commodore Gauss Caldari C0NTAINMENT	Posted - 2008.03.01 20:03:00 - [8] Mispronunciations, past and present: Scimitar Harbinger Anathema Zealot

Thanks! Its funny that they no longer want to say Harbinger anymore. Its simple its just "Binger"
Adonis 4174	Posted - 2008.03.01 20:53:00 - [10] Stop saying Pete-za it's Pit-za ---- Anything less is wasted effort

Ariel Dawn Beets and Gravy Syndicate Rare Faction	Posted - 2008.03.01 20:55:00 - [11] Please refer to the Harbinger as a Hamburger from now on to avoid all confusion. This would be most appropriate if Spiral was eating a hamburger whilst making this pronunciation correction.
Eliza Bathory	Posted - 2008.03.02 15:14:00 - [12] I belive Abaddon is pronounced A-bad'don the name is biblical, something which fits with the Amarr history. Abba-don sounds like a bad Swedish band Eliza
Commodore Gauss Caldari C0NTAINMENT	Posted - 2008.03.02 15:58:00 - [13] Dammit Verone... Notoriety
Reiisha Splint Eye Probabilities Inc. Dawn of Transcendence	Posted - 2008.03.07 08:33:00 - [14] Edited by: Reiisha on 07/03/2008 08:34:19 Originally by: Eliza Bathory I belive Abaddon is pronounced A-bad'don the name is biblical, something which fits with the Amarr history. Abba-don sounds like a bad Swedish band Eliza Sadly for you, it is pronounced abba-DON. Otherwise it stops sounding cool around mobs. EVE History Wiki
DiaBlo UK North Siders Morsus Empire	Posted - 2008.03.07 09:32:00 - [15] Please don't use that bastardization of the English language that people call American. It cheapens and disgraces such a fine language that millions of people recognise and the one true language. Please don't mistake those hints of sarcasm for me actually not meaning that i hate the way american have killed the english language though. However, saying that, the Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary and Thesaurus does get its pronuinciations pretty much spot on, its just that acent that goes straight through me.
Everyone Dies Caldari Lucky Tampon	Posted - 2008.03.09 22:07:00 - [16] In the match between Notoriety Alliance and Green Alliance the word "scimitar" was pronounced skim-i-tar. It's actually pronounced sim-i-ter similar to the pronunciation of the word limiter (lim-i-ter). Thanks you for your time.

Dlardrageth Eve University Ivy League	Posted - 2008.03.09 22:26:00 - [18] Well, mispronounciations and misspellings happen as surely as pants drop... ahem... What I think might be mostly an issue for people which are not native-speakers of the english tongue (in which variety whatever), is the sheer speed of some sentences. Just to make one example, no offense to Spiral intended. Every time SJ mentioned that IRC channel, I rather felt like being shelled with a heavily gyro'd and RoF-rigged AC rather than understanding something. In then end someone had the good idea of having it typed out on the screen, but all sympathy and appreciation notwithstanding... Spiral, wanna think of those poor sods watching EVE-TV you kinda speech-podded in the future?

CCP Hammer	Posted - 2008.03.09 22:33:00 - [19] Originally by: Commodore Gauss Mispronunciations, past and present: Anathema Damn... I've been saying Ana-thema all this time rather than anath-ema. I'm still not sure of the exact pronunciation of Abaddon.

Danton Marcellus Nebula Rasa Holdings	Posted - 2008.03.09 22:39:00 - [20] I'll roleplay my ass out of this any day of the week. When I mispronounce anything I just say it's how it's called in the dialect where I'm from, Gallente Prime, you cannot argue with prime fiction. Should/would/could have, HAVE you chav! Also Known As

Petit Faucon	Posted - 2008.03.09 22:41:00 - [21] chavros not stavros
Tigerfish Torpedo Underworld Protection Agency The Crimson Federation	Posted - 2008.03.10 12:04:00 - [22] Did anyone ever actually decide on the pronounciation of Kitsune? Is it pronounced: Kit-soon, Kit-sun, Kit-soon-ee (omfg, what?! Dear god, no!), I'm sure it was supposed to be a sune, like a dune, but with an s... Am I rambling? Tiger.
Desash The Extremely Norty Gankers Union	Posted - 2008.03.10 12:34:00 - [23] I think what we need is a standard to which we can all agree to. I propose that someone digs out their Texas Speak and Spell machine and enters all the disputed ship names into said machine and records and publishes the results. It's the only way to put an end to all this uncertainty. Maybe evetv could take the Speak and Spell machine to the next tourney and put a pink hat on it and get a more compelling response.
Adonis 4174	Posted - 2008.03.10 13:32:00 - [24] Originally by: Tigerfish Torpedo Did anyone ever actually decide on the pronounciation of Kitsune? I would pronounce it Kit-soon-ee. Wikipedia has a recording of a japanese voice pronouncing it as what sounds like keet-sun-eh. Given that they can't pronounce our words either I don't see it matters. Either way the last e is definately pronounced. ---- Exploding underpants: The real weapon of last resort.

That particular ship is pronounced Kit-soon-eh with Kitsune being Japanese for Fox. ------------------------------------------- Sig removed, inappropriate content.

Abba-don sounds like a bad Swedish band Eliza Theres a geordie Drummer called Abaddon, he was 1/3 of the band that invented black metal, along with Cronos and the other guy.
