Misprounced Monsters; Or... What did you call that monster, again?

[Sidekick]

Well I'ma kiwi so with my crazy 'e's into 'i's and 'i's into 'u's accent I'm pretty sure that pronounce everythunk wrong.

I'd illistrate but by phonetic spelling-fu is weak.

(Also, you seem to have taken my surname. You fiend!)

What, Shadowslayer? Must mean you're one of the cool guys if you bear such a name.

Because -- basketball team notwithstanding -- the peoples of early Ireland and Scotland were Celts (said "kelts" not "selts").

I cringe everytime I hear people say "Seltics."

The Irish may be "kelts" but the Scots are "selts". At least they were the last time I lived in the UK. I figured it was changes in the language that resulted when the celtic people got separated in various parts of Europe.

I always found it funny that the basketball team from a largely Irish city used the Scottish pronunciation of the word.

Gygax: GY-gaks

Hmm... I don't remember ever seeing an entry for that monster. Must be a pretty vile and evil thing.

Tarrasque: tah-RASK

Ahh, yes... I've heard people call it a Tar-task-que

Yeppers. Evil, vile creature that warped the fragile little minds of many young ones back in the day.
