How do you pronounce "bulette"

[Ath-kethin]

Lan-"and it seems someone else has learned the Raise Thread spell - check the date of the OP!"-efan

You know what I think is insane? Apparently nobody responded to the OP's question for over 15 freaking years.

This is some "unearth the Mummy" type stuff, and we are all doomed.

LAND SHARK Bullet

Mummies live in deserts...Bulettes live in deserts...yeah, I see the connection there.

I pronounce it exactly like the German word for hamburger, because I think it's hilarious

I've always pronounced it "boo-let"

But Matt Mercer, in his recorded pronunciation for DnD Beyond's bulette entry, pronounces it more like "buh-let"

Yet EN World's D&D Pronunciation Guide states:

Bulette: boo-LAY (note that this one is universally condemned by gamers everywhere, so we suggest ignoring WotC and saying "boo-lett")

I suggest pronouncing it "bullet-tea", just to annoy people.

Or "BOO-letty"?

Or "BOO-letty"?

This reminds me of Jonathan Teatime in Terry Pratchett's Hogfather, who insists on everyone pronouncing his surname as Teh-ah-tim-eh.

I have a simple sense of humor and it always gives me the giggles. I'm always walking in and around pronunciation landmines at work given the very international environment I work in. I try my best to pronounce names correctly (i.e., the preferred pronunciation of the person so-named), but when I fail and run aground against someone who takes themselves too seriously, I can't help but needle them a bit. Especially since so many who take issue with how you pronounce their name make little effort to learn the pronunciation of names in languages they are unfamiliar with.

it clearly renewed on Carousel!

But, at 15, it's not even 'Green' yet...?

The computer sent it in a mission to find Sanctuary, so made it Clear.
