How do you pronounce your username? Mine's obvious:

Skip.

Short vowels LOL

Legolas · 22nd February 2002, 01:47 PM

Leg-oh-lass

duh

padders · 22nd February 2002, 03:39 PM

pad-ders

Legolas · 22nd February 2002, 03:50 PM

naw really? I thought it was Paw-Deers!

Asmiley · 22nd February 2002, 05:44 PM

In the wot sex ar e you thread we begean a conversation about mispronunciations and so I thought we should have a thread just on that.

In case you didn't know: for my name It's Long A as in the letter A and then Smiley creating ASMILEY. The A is from the first letter of my real name... and smiley is cuz I love smilies and so I got Asmiley. I never even considered it would be read with the short vowel sound. I'm sorta surprised anyone read it that way.

Although, There have been times when I've read someone's username wrong too. like Carkedit I read to be Cark Edit and instead it's sposed to be Carked It.

Only asking cos I always saw Asmiley as a short a and not a long one!

Skip · 22nd February 2002, 07:53 PM

an-ah-lees

Highlander II · 23rd February 2002, 02:15 AM

High (long 'i')

land (short 'a')

er (short 'e')

II (said like the #2)

tough, yeah?

Diamond9697 · 23rd February 2002, 02:56 AM

Diamond...like the gemstone *grins* but everyone calls me Dia for short ..long I sound...easy huh

Morrigan · 23rd February 2002, 03:12 AM

Morrigan Cierdan

More (short vowel)
ree (long e sound)
gan (short a)

Cee (lone e sound)
err (as in "to err is human...")
din (short i)

And for the record, I knew the "A" was long. And I better say it... Yes, I know how to say Legolas. If I didn't, what kind of fangirl would I be?

tokyogirl · 23rd February 2002, 04:52 AM

mine's just like it looks 'tokyogirl'. one word. i hope everyone knows how to pronounce 'tokyo' and 'girl'. it came from the name of an ace of base song that i really love.
