MERGED: How do you say the site name? / What's with Eeee Ennn World?

[Philotomy Jurament]

Only wrong people.

Now, Psion. These are tolerant times; no one is wrong (only "wrong," with irony quotes, at best). If someone wants to pronounce "Psion" like PEEE-SEE-EYE-UHN or even just "GUUUK" they're not wrong...they're just "different" and "creative" and wonderful in their diversity...

Boolay!

KHAAAAAANNN!

 

[Drowbane]

Mentally to myself: E N World.
To other gamers who know the site: N-Wurld or E N (like "Ian")

 

[HellHound]

KHAAAAAANNN!

Hmm... obviously wrong. (N-World)

Cheers, LT.

Hmmm...

But you can't pronounce "IBM" - If it was International Business Olfactory Machines, then we could call it IBOM (eye-BOHM).

This got me thinking. Perhaps there once was a company called International Business Optic Machines... I could see where the nickname Eye-Bomb would cause such a company to go out of business fairly quick...

Oh, and it's Eee Enn World, BTW...

I'd guess that you're a high school administrator or councilor of some sort. How sad.

 

[Nifft]

I say it correctly, according to the new site title.

And that's totally fine. As long as you acknowledge that, should we ever meet, I have the right to refer to you in any way that I see fit

It really is a New York thing... especially in "The City". Back in college I taped myself and a friend talking in a long conversation... then played it back looking for "verbal contractions". I was floored by the amount of butchering we did to "The King's English". 20 years later and I have no idea what class that experiment was for
