Weird one, lol. :P

One really stupid misspelling(and sometimes even pronunciation) is Lion's Arch. The most common one I see is "Loin's Arch." Amusing.

Not nearly as annoying, IMNSHO, as seeing this spammed constantly.

"WTB monk normal tomb!!!"

I'll put your monk in a tomb, you illiterate maggot...

...you mean Silver Armour is actually Sliver Armour? I've read it as Silver for years, which is forgivable considering the icon [skill]Sliver Armor[/skill], it looks all silvery.

I did the same with

sheesh.

I always pronounced Aatxe as Axe-attack, Mursaat as Mer-sat, Krytan as Kretin and Cantha as Canthea.

Also every now and then i accidently call Shing Jea Island as Jing Shea :/

It peeves me off when Rurick refers to "Ascalonians" as "Ascalons"

On the FoW topic, I saw the following about 3 mins. ago:

I lol'ed really bad. Must hunt that stuff now, like I do with names.

EDIT: I can't spell. Really can't.

MStarfire · Jun 11, 2008, 02:11 AM // 02:11

usually pronounce it "ash-ee".

Anyway I've heard funny pronunciations of Kanaxai from "can-ax-ee" to "can-ex-ey".. It's correctly pronounced "Kahn-a-shey".

Also I had a guildie insist on pronouncing Riposte "ree-pawst".

Mesmer in Need · Jun 11, 2008, 03:34 AM // 03:34

I though Shing Jea was Shining Jea for the longest time.
I've also said "Sturgeon" (Like the fish) for Stygian. I'm not sure if this is right.

Always had a problem with aatxe.

But the main one where my pronunciation was off was Sousuke. Wasn't until about the 4th time I saw the cut scene where Jin's talking with him that I heard it was "sue - skay", and not "so - sooky".

Since he was somewhat of a girl/wimp, "so sooky" (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/sook) had suited him - my partner & I had thought it was a deliberate pun by Anet. We still tend to call him sooky.

Just remembered a guy spamming all chat in Kaineng Center with "were can I buy amour". I was so tempted to answer "just follow the red lanterns"

Re: Lion's Arch.

Not necessarily funny, but I've erroneously pronounced it as Lion's Arc since I'd first seen it. Can't seem to break the habit. :-\

When I first started playing for some reason I called "Apply Poison" "Apple Poison" <.< Never really looked at the name clearly

On the spelling subject
Armor is Armour
Color is Colour
Favorite is Favourite

I could continue..
