not an incorrect pronounciation.. but the first time i saw a Necrid Horseman i thought it was Nekkid Horseman.. that made me laugh so now everytime i see that i will say that xD

This is a great thread. I actually learned some things and others were cleared up for me. For example, the pronunciation of Stygian and Justiciar. Aatxe is just strange, so I constantly have to correct my self and refrain from calling it an Aatax or something. :P

How many asians have you met named "archemorus"?
Kurzick is based on germanic/eastern european culture hence "brauer" and "durheim".

My father's name is Archiemedes. But he's completely asian :P

Exactly why he got it right. Correct is whatever the creators say it is.

DarkGanni · Jun 09, 2008, 11:07 PM // 23:07

Common one and I hate it: Tombs > It's tomeS

Or the other one Draknar's, Dranknar's..........all failures to say Droknar's -.-

Halmyr · Jun 09, 2008, 11:43 PM // 23:43

Same as a lot of people: Aatxe.....I simply call them Ataxe, seems soooo much more natural and cooler that way :/ but thats just me

Accursed · Jun 10, 2008, 12:24 AM // 00:24

I pronouce them "at-axe", but I guess I'm wrong Q_Q.

ApocalypseAzza · Jun 10, 2008, 01:04 AM // 01:04

i also have always said it as at-axe just because u cant really say it like it is... 'aatxe'

Bo Fairfield · Jun 10, 2008, 01:06 AM // 01:06

actually, with stygian, if you pronounce it true to latin/greek (or at least my latin professor), the y has a sort of U sound, as in styooogian, with y as a consonant, not vowel.

KiyaKoreena · Jun 10, 2008, 01:06 AM // 01:06

We call them attaxes too. :-)

And second calling them Nekkid Horsemans.

dilan155 · Jun 10, 2008, 01:33 AM // 01:33

ive always called it a taxes like what you pay when you buy stuff. cant really think of any good mispronounced words.

Yea same for Hermoine, and Chilblains as mentioned before. Oh and now I learned how to say Stygian and Justiciar.

I actually yelled "GET THE NECRID HOSEMAN!" when I was pugging Riverside Province on one of my characters...

I was teaching a newbie how to play the game and I told him he just have to press the following keys:

(1) Wan
(2) Tu
(3) Tree
(4) Pur
(5) Payb
(6) Seeks
(7) Sivin
(8) Iyt

I can feel the guy was laughing for no reason so I stopped teaching him. Too bad he didnt learn the last two numbers, (9) Nayn and (10) Tin.

a-tax lol yeah that's how i always said it. guildies like saying "cows coming". I have no intent on saying otherwise. i like the phonetic versions. makes it a lot easier at times. i guess it's whatever floats your boat.

itsvictor · Jun 10, 2008, 04:25 AM // 04:25

Prophecies, can you not read?
Droknar's is that...DROKNAR'S!
I have a pet peeve with ignorance...but more so with stupidity...I pronounce aatxe- axe-te-c(say the letter c) I have no idea why but it stuck with me. Or I just say naggercow (sorry to those that I've offended with that if I did at all, that stuck after my friend kept screaming it on vent >_>)
Tomes not tombs because I don't want burial sites...

Edit: Also using the speech system on windows...Aatxe sounds a lot like Ox except the stressed O sound.
