Btw, the title of the thread sayes 'horribly wrong'... 'Horribly wrong' is usually how one would describe shitting their pants at a bad time.

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.

Oh god. I hate that too. I live in Washington, and my mother pronunces it Warsh-ing-ton. I just want to strangle her and small babies over that.
