Re: All these unpronouncable player names..
some names are just in another language then english, like my name. thus people cant pronounce it properly.

I know this without even looking. The answer is A. The only city they mentioned in the news at the time.Airsoft Soldier wrote:
Having had an Indian friend and watched the occasional japanese anime I have a tolerance for difficult names, but there are limits. Throw in something that can be pronounced.

Kwal, is the dutch word for jellyfish. The C at the back is the first letter to my name and the 297 is the area-code for my island. Why i chose that name is a different topic all together.Mikemonster wrote:Go on then, let me guess.. 'Rayk'? I read it as 'Kwalk'.

Re: All these unpronouncable player names..
Mine is pretty simple. Although many people do tend to mispronounce it, it's easy to read. Usually people pronounce it as "Ex-cay-vus" instead of it's intended pronunciation of "Ex-cah-vus." I've heard weirder though, with some people calling me Excalibur or Excavius.
Typically I can read anybody's name and pronounce it straight away unless it's some random jumble of letters

Re: All these unpronouncable player names..
I've been using this handle for something like 8 years and I'm pretty attached to it. I didn't intend for it to be a difficult name; I just didn't realise people would have a reason to struggle with it.
There is only one way to pronounce it!
PH = F
Flupple
S(pp)le is not pronounced soople
T(pp)erware is not pronounced tooperware
Why on earth would phl(pp)le be pronounced floople?
Some people even call me purple... make an effort lads.

Make a new player account with the word "ghoti" in it and see who pronounces right or wrong

But.. Honestly, a silent 'p'? I read it as 'flup-pull'. Lol. Bit I can See 'Pal-Hupple'. As to how you could pronounce it 'floople' .. Well, there are the French.

I am so damn good. Can I have a honorary Dutch citizenship for guessing that right?

Re: All these unpronouncable player names..
LIES! having everyone named dave would NOT be simpler, in fact it'd be even more complicated.
"DAVE THERE"S A GUY BEHIND YOU!"
Dave/s: "which one of us are you talk ab-SPLAT"
DaveSL1 - "DAVE! fly us to to Flag Alpha!"
DaveSL2 - "DAVE! fly us to flag Bravo!"
etc. - "" ""
*result* none of the daves make it to he flag they had planned on going to and their battle plan with very specific kits was foiled...but not a problem because the same thing happened to the other team!
Dave: *R Dave is greiving!
Admin: ...
