I'm pretty sure most of you pronounce the names of certain pieces of gear horribly wrong.

Btw, the title of the thread sayes 'horribly wrong'... 'Horribly wrong' is usually how one would describe shitting their pants at a bad time.
"My job interview, last Thursday, went horribly wrong."

Had a norwegian girl in our ls who made fun of the way we said einherjar and other norse words. I took mythology, and albeit my teacher was American, I knew atleast how einherjar was supposed to be pronounced-ish...but I still said EYE-n-her-jar on purpose cause thats how its spelled, but lots of other people pronounce it that way because they dont know better. But thats not gear.
everybody I know says as-car and I always said ho-mom lol
etoile is eh-twal (omg cant phonetically spell it) not e-toyl. French it means star.
Pahluwan Qalansuwa..uhh..I never paid attention to the second word..I always said it like padowan only with an L

Yeah, it's a tough job, but I told him that I'm "used to putting up with ***."

I'm mostly annoyed by the obvious mispronunciations of French words. Beaucedine, Etoile, Joyeuse, pretty much anything from San D'oria...

Meh, I know I pronounce 90% of the things 'incorrectly', but that's how I'm used to saying them and don't plan on reprogramming my vocab. I always said Charybdis the ghetto way, Chair-E-ba-dees, although the actual pronunciation is something like 'Ka-RIB-a-dis, or something like that.

I could not possibly care less if I pronounce names in this game correctly or not, and frankly, the entire thread seems like a blatantly self-serving attempt to elevate someone's ego, LOL...ah, well. It takes all kinds. 8)

The worst pronunciation of any area I ever heard was by a rl friend of mine... he pronounced Beadeaux as Bo-dex... I was like wtf.. how do you figure that?
Other than that, I don't really care how anyway pronounces the areas. I'm sure I pronounce a few of them wrong too.

I keep hearing people say 'About' ~ It pisses me off, learn to talk, it's 'ABOOT'! Gawd.
