PSA: "guise" is pronounced "guys"

[Haunt]

I used to pronounce melee as 'meal-y'.

The mother lode of mispronunciation is the Alpha Investments youtube channel. That guy gets at least 15% of the words wrong when he tries to read MTG cards out loud.

Most of us were kids when we started playing EQ. Mispronouncing chitin or melee is pretty understandable, even if it carried into adulthood. Mispronouncing guise on the other hand baffles me...

A fun exercise is to get a bunch of EQ players together and have them pronounce things such as Tunare, Luclin, and Qeynos. I've seen sooo many different pronunciations there.

And I have to go with sew, not sow.


While we are here Torpor is pronounced closer to Torp-er than it looks, and Erudite is air-oo-dite not Ee-roooo-dite

Unrelated to EQ, milk does not have an e in it, stop pronouncing it melk, and both does not have an L in it, stop saying bolth.

Stuff like this is just many gamers having shitty vocabularies. Happened in WoW with names all the time too. Many players seem to stumble with shit like noctivagant or diaphanous and think they are made up fantasy words, when they are just adjectives. RPG's use some obscure ones for sure, but just normal adjectives despite rarity.
