Ridiculous chauvinism on the wiki

[Lysander]

http://wiki.project1999.com/Aegolism
http://wiki.project1999.com/Aegis

Looked on the wiki, and seriously, who cares how people in an online fantasy MMO pronounce the word aegis? The pronunciation guide on aegolism is especially belittling and has no place on the wiki. Nobody should ever be talked down to like that. Especially, since it is a completely made up word anyways and the writer is just imposing his opinion.

Also, aigis was originally pronounced with a hard g, and through the years has had varying pronunciations from egis to ejis. Variations in pronunciations are a natural part of language. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%CE%B1%E1%BC%B0%CE%B3%CE%AF%CF%82#Ancient_Greek
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/aegis#Latin

So really, drop the delusions of superiority and stop being bothered with how people pronounce the word Aegis. I know that telling people on online elfsims how to pronounce Greek words makes you think that you are more educated and smarter than them, but really you're just a pretentious asshole. Thanks.

Oh look, who did this. Book not up or something. Someone revert this awful change already.

Pretentiously complaining about a pretentious wiki section?

Never go full autist

[loramin]

You do realize that you could have reverted his change in like five seconds? In other words, instead of complaining you could have actually fixed it in 1/20th of the time it took you to complain ...

[Nexii]

Ee-jiss is correct but ~90% of people say it wrong

[Phenyo]

ayy-gis

[Nexii]

Actually I haven't heard anyone say it right
Ay-go (Aego) seems most common

Is this real

[Fifield]

[Yetizod]

There is nothing about this that “talks down”. Stop being such a pussy you snowflake.

Gonna call meriam Webster next?

[Andyman1022]

Of all the things you could potentially bitch about today (just kidding, it’s thanksgiving, lighten up you social justice warrior). I mean seriously how far are we going to take this political correctness agenda where everyone has a right to be offended about the most asinine issues?

[Bboboo]

ego jiz

[mickmoranis]

is this thread about how women will pronounce this word incorrectly because they are women and do everything incorrectly

[Pint]

This guy fucks

[thraxxia]

also it's SOW not SAO

[Wonkie]

also it's SOW not SAO

yes, sow. like a female pig :eek:

[Eukaryotik]

What does anime have to do with this?

[loramin]

Yes, but there's no way to edit the wiki for that.

[Cecily]

An argument as old as time (or maybe just 1999)

ayy-gis

[shuklak]

Rhymes with Egypt... What?

[ScaringChildren]

Gif or jif?

[d3r14k]

Gif with a hard G
Lou-klin for Luclin
Ayy-go for Aego

2/3 of the above are probably incorrect, but I cannot change mah ways.

[d3r14k]

The real question is:

Yike-sha or Yuh-Kee-Sha for Ykesha

[Nexii]

I say Yeek-sha but Eek-sha is probably the correct way.

[Irulan]

Wattth3fuq

Yeck-sha

[feniin]

Yuh-kesh-uh you weirdos

[Nexii]

Actually Ykesha should be said "Ick-sha" or "Ik-esh-a" IMO.
Going by similar Y words like Yvonne or how 'Yk' is pronounced in many of Finnish words (ix-)
Would say "Ick-sha" as it more resembles the proc sound

[Jauna]

The real question is:

Yike-sha or Yuh-Kee-Sha for Ykesha

The kid in me: Yak-e-sha
The adult in me: Yaw-key-shaw
The racist in me: The cashier at walmart

[azeth]

Ay-jzoe-lism

Ee-kesha

[Jimjam]

Yuck, Ke$ha!

[kjs86z]

Yuh-kesh-uh you weirdos

Like 18 years ago i remember this argument and for some reason it was kinda blown up. But IIRC a developer in a video interview clearly said " WHY - KEY - SHAH '.....

Not that it matters anymore........

[Jauna]

[Swish2]

If it was meant to be prounounced "jif" it would start with a J.

What does the g in gif stand for? (graphics) Say the word.

Case closed.

So you’re telling me you pronounce Giraffe as Gih-raff? Should have put a J in front amirite.

Assuming you pronounce giant as “guy-ant” as well

The word gif does, however

[aaezil]

Generally when theres a vowel after a g it sounds like j.

You’re supposed to learn this in first grade i think

go, golf, god, girl, gift, gas, gold, etc etc etc.

Maybe you need to find a new rule to go by?

[paulgiamatti]

"Eejis" is accepted as common parlance along with "ayjis", although "eejis" makes more sense if you consider words like aether and the name Caesar. Hard g hasn't been used in aegis since ancient Greece, so I'd avoid that pronunciation outside of the context of EQ where everything is pronounced wrong.
