How do you pronounce usernames?

[Joecoolyo]

Everyone pronounces it as if it were an "I" though.

Here's how its supposed to be pronounced.

See? Like three different words. It is very tempting to just mix it all together though and say Joecoolio though.

 

[Lohrenswald]

Here's how its supposed to be pronounced.

The correct spelling of that is "Djowkuljow"

Anyway, how is my english?

 

[classical_hero]

You most definitely have a German accent.

 

[Lohrenswald]

That's a funny answer. You are getting on the right track, though.

So how's my german?

 

[classical_hero]

Your German sounds like your English. But with the quality of the mic, it does distort your voice a bit to make it harder to understand.

 

[Lohrenswald]

So what do you make of this?

Also Classical Hero

 

[Dachs]

So how's my german?

you seem to enjoy pronouncing "d"s as "t"s

I approve of Erlkönig references incidentally

 

[Lohrenswald]

Doesn't "d"s in the end of german words become "t"s?

Dachs

 

[sophie]

The correct spelling of that is "Djowkuljow"

Anyway, how is my english?

I'd say it's dʒo.kuːl.joʊ

 

[Lohrenswald]

I'd say it's dʒo.kuːl.joʊ

You win this time, Owen Glyndwr.

You pronounced "Joan" correctly!

Goodbye, if you're looking for me I'll be crying tears of joy.

Okay, I'm not using some weird online service, so I made a 5.5 MB .mp3 file and put it on my personal site for download/listening/however you want to access it. I started by reading the names that were active in CFC OT Tavern, then did the mods, then did usernames in this thread, then ran down the #fiftychat active users list.

Please note that I morph some usernames to things that make it easier for me to remember. Illram, for instance, is Illium to me. Yes, he is a city full of sexy asari babes. Anyhoo, here we go.

As beautiful as I remembered.



Amazing. The echoes were a perfect touch.

I've just realised i've been shortening your name to Kan' Sharuman in my mind

 

[Lohrenswald]

VRWCAgent, how did you figure that the "r" is silent and that "wald" is pronounced "brow"?

 

[bhsup]

Oh, I don't But Lowenbrau is a German beer that just clicks in my mind when I see your username for some reason.

 

[Lohrenswald]

Oh, I don't But Lowenbrau is a German beer that just clicks in my mind when I see your username for some reason.

But I'm not sure.

I don't know how long I'll keep the avatar.

Edit: not long, I didn't like the white edges.

You can always prune the edges in a basic editing program such as Paint.net.
