What's Captain Kirk's dump stat?

[DrunkonDuty]

We need a phonetic alphabet, cos I'm not sure how anyone is pronouncing anything.
Frinstance: I had no idea what the initial joke was until it got explained.

I say "Con" with a very rounded "oh" and Khan, with my Aussie twang, comes out with a long nasal dipthong. ACtually a Canadian mate of mine once accused Aussies of inventing the tripthong just so we could be more nasal.

Not that the world will end because of this...

After reading this thread, I don't know whether to laugh or to cry. And whichever I chose, I don't know if it will be at this thread or at me for reading it.

So, you're pronouncing "Con" so it sounds like "cone"?

If anything, Kirk has an extra stat.

Its called AWESOME and he's maxed it out.

If I recall correctly, FASA's Star Trek RPG had a 'Luck' stat. While I do believe Kirk had high stats all around, his luck stat was ridiculously high which made up for any short comings.

Thanks,

The "con" in constitution is pronounced lower in the mouth, and with rounder lips, than the "con" in Khan. It's subtle but noticeable.

So you're telling me that Khan does not sound like Barn?

or are you telling me that Con does not sound like Kong?

I would vote for KHAAAAAAAAN! (CON) too...did you see how fat he got towards the end of each season?

Does that give the sound something of a Caw (sounds like claw) at the front or is it a Cah (sounds like catch or can)? (This is why I asked for an mp3.)

They're both more like "caw" than "cah", as you have them. Your "caw" as in claw is how I would pronouce "Con". Just to be confusing, however, I pronounce "caw" as in the sound a crow makes as I pronounce "Khan".

I'll see about that mp3.

Khan does not sound like barn. Though I suspect P-Cat (if he's native to his location) pronounces them similarly.

Con does sound like Kong

As an Indian and native speaker of the language that Khan is from, I can tell you that Khan should sound fairly similar to barn.
