Subject: What are some usernames you find hard to pronounce?

This applies to all Bungie-related words or phrases as well. Personally, I've never known how to say (in my head) Sven's name, as well as the word 'Schadenfreude'.

inb4 mine, there is no phonetically acceptable pronunciation of my name other than as an acronym
ya'll postin' in a quality thread

If I am not posting, then I am reading what you might have posted.

There are actually a lot of usenames that I find fairly hard to pronounce. But over all I can pronounce any name. :P

On December 1st, 2012, I met Neil deGrasse Tyson. I shook the man's hand, and even made him laugh. Not much else to do with my life now.

Just to let you all know, my name is pronounced "Whiney-Pit"

You know, "Whine," like a fine wine.

I don't think I've found too much trouble. I might not be pronouncing it right, but I find a way.

I pronounce Sven kind of like sfen, schadenfreude like ss-chaden froid, and ctjl96 like see-tee-jay for short and see-tee-jay-el-ninty-six or see-tee-jay-el-nine-six.

I pronounce my username Isaac (okay.. it's like Ie-sa-ac) for short and Isaac-six-oh-nine for long.

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

That's how I say it, too, but a lot of people keep writing Durado.

A lot of people pronounce my gamertag wrong.

Prozeyic. (Pro-zay-ic)

They usually pronounce it Pro-zee-ic or just resort to calling me Pro or Ben (I put Ben as my service tag to stop people having to pronounce my gamertag).

People who are mad at me for winning usually resort to replacing the end of my name with a swear word.

Pro-BLAM

OT: I don't really have trouble pronouncing things like that. But there's a big chance I could be pronouncing it wrong.

Wasn't there some 2004 Bungie tour video where he corrected another employee when they said Ac-ron-nos with ac-ron-noes?

The distance between insanity and genius is measured only by success.

The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts, while the stupid ones are full of confidence.

As you waste your breath complaining about life, Someone out there is breathing their last. Appreciate what you have.

If you stand for nothing, you will fall for anything.

Thanks, I was only off by... three... years. :D (Edit: Oh, I wasn't off at all...)

I find it interesting that they caught him while he was on a topic in the forums.
