I suspect llamas are secretly wizards. I <3 poptarts n' milk. I like me. Grimick is defined as: a logical parodox, the act of funnaling a potato down your throat, and a deliciously flavored muffin (with pecons and blueberries). Norway is the Swedish word for 'moron'. My sister has cancer, so i get to use handicap parking and cut small children in line at Disneyland.

Sometimes I see a username I cant pronounce so I just ignore it. Then later, if i see it a couple times, I practice saying it out load till I get it.

I thought it was acorn. ACN is short for American? This is news to me.

Yeah, that's why he said that whoever could guess it wins a prize. My prize was "[$100]".

At least I'm proud of having a unpronounceable username on bungie.net :P
That... sorta makes me special.

I just say c-t-j-l-96 really fast in my head.

  • 01.14.2012 9:35 PM PDT

Definitely mine. I always pronounce it pho-mom-me-mom.

I imagine some people might get my name all weird. But I'm rather lenient about how it's pronounced.


High-lea-bos

It's how I say it in my head.

Am I right?

I always pronounce it as either "High-El-Bos" or "High-Lay-Bos". Your guess is close enough to the latter to the point where it's acceptable.

Whatever way you choose to say it, it sounds like some sort of acne gel.

Well, for the longest time, I'd been saying analbumcover's name horribly wrong.

Wait, i just noticed.

Is his name an album cover? Because i've always been calling him -blam!- bum cover.

Yeah, that's basically it. Most people sort of split the emphasis and lengthen it like eye-saac. I find it funny when yorkshire people exclaim my name. It sounds cool. I'm going to stop now before I start ranting about the times I had on Xboxlive...

Haha, this is a funny thread. When I tell people my handle they always give me a funny look; the name is hard to say.

I pronounce it S-ven (kind of like sfen) Knee-its-ch, or Sven for short.

Cortana 5 is a carbon-based lifeform that frequently visits these forums, currently residing in the United States. Practically every male on the site responds to her posts.

You know, I never have to say your usernames aloud, so I've never really thought about how difficult it may be to pronounce them.

Now I'm looking like an idiot saying random names out loud. People are looking at me all funny.

Your name is obviously l33t-speak and translates to cortanas. This confuses me, as there has only ever been one cortana. Mind explaining?
