"Tiassa" and other names needing pornounciation guides. . .

i used to pronounce Geoffp as some shortcut to saying "get off"--> "gerroff"-->"GEOFF!!:frust:"..
and it somehow suited his sharp personality..:p

till i read of Geoffry Pike in wikipedia, a guy who i couldn't believe was a jew cuz he was too awesome and bold and just...normal.(yeah that's racist:p)
that's what made me wonder if our geoffp was actually this guy or a descendant of him, especially how he always defends jews..then he said it's actually his real name.

I was playing Kuma Wars once, and on there players can use microphones rather than type, and you would be amazed at how many people called me "col-len-el" Sanders. One kid, I kid you not, called me "colonial" sanders. So now I spell it like it is now. ^_^

do people pronounce my username sci-fes or syfs[as in plural of scife]?

james R sounds like an incomplete sentence, one in which james is a collection of.......stuff.

"jame is something, but james are something else..":p

being a Welsh(-ish) word it's not as as easy as DEE-wih-DEAR.

The y is pronounced as an i, the w as u (oo), d is fricative (closer to t) and dd is th.
So it's tioo (like Tiw the Norse god - Tuesday, not quite chew) ith ir.

Tiu-ith-ir.

Keep practising. :p

I have already gone on record as opposing any sanctions for people who make nicknames out of each others' handles, so long as they are not obscene or obviously insulting in some other rule-violating way.

That's funny. There is someone on the board who got so upset with me for continually referring to her by a shortened version of her name that she claimed she reported me. I don't know if this was the truth or not, b/c I never heard from a moderator.

I thought it was rather hypocritical, b/c she started by always refering to me as Eso. . . . which means, "that" in Spanish. So, it's essentially why I returned the favor. This, and her handle is long to type out as well. Frankly, if you keep calling someone "that," why would you get all in a huff over being called, "Snow?":p
