Just so you commentators know, it's not a "kit-soon." It's a "kit-soon-eh." A little tidbit, a kitsune is a Japanese fox spirit. It's also the Japanese word for fox. |

Ive gotten so much hate for pronouncing kitsune the way you describe. Its funny how strongly people feel about pronunciation even when they have it wrong |

I love when people pronounce Abbadon "ab-add-on." It makes me realize most people on the intertubes can't read. |

ROFL I think even worse are the inane nickname people give ships. Like, I feel like being lazy and instead of calling a Scimitar a Scimitar, I'll call it a "schimmy." |

Yeah, because pronunciation is famously static. It won't change at all in the next few thousand years. |

The correct way to pronounce Jita is - "SCAM CENTRAL, STAY THE HECK OUT!!".

actually, its pretty well recorded/documented that it HASNT changed in a thousand years.... Japanese is structured around syllables. Its not as prone to change like latin based languages. Face it, english is a mongrel language.

..can we also start to bash all non-scandinavians who can't pronounce the names from our mythology? Or spell it, for that matter. And then we can put some swedes, danes, norwegians and hell we'll even invite the finns and icelandic scrubs to discuss which of our native versions that is most accurate.
To begin with, we need to remove all the silly icelandic i's that are being added in funky places. Sleipner, Loke, Mj+¦lner, Oden (if he was in the game), oh and ofc we need to teach people to pronounce the +¦ so we don't have to hear the despicable Rangarok.. it needs it's proper +¦k-end tbfh.
..or we could just accept this is an international game, where people pronounce stuff the way that it's normal for them to read it. I know, that's radical tho, ain't it? shiptoastin' liek a baws |

You should probably learn to spell Abaddon before you "love" to tell people they're pronouncing it wrong. |

I think I'm going to keep calling it "Gila" (making use of that "G" in the beginning), because "HEE-la" just sounds dumb.
Also, a little tidbit for ya - I go by "Hudey" Lloyd, not Jude Lloyd. Heretic Army Warlord and Diplomat Host of Frigfest http://judelloyd.blog.com/ http://kb.heretic-army.biz/

I was actually shocked to find that I have been spelling and pronouncing the word "ancillary" as "ancilliary" my whole life. Things will never be the same. |
