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.

The Joyeuse IP Formula

It's actually possessive, but we're not allowed apostrophes in our usernames. Basically, this is Cortana's account.

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?

"That's about all that can be said for plots, which anyway are just one thing after another, a what and a what and a what.

Now try how and why."

Hard to pronounce? No.

Hard to pronounce right? Well, no one has ever corrected me.

I'll probably still butcher the Nietzsche part sometimes. It's too easy to lazily just say nitch or knee-itch (no pun intended). Which is probably why I'd just call you sven if I ever get an Xbox360 and live.

Ah, I see. You should make a thread petitioning for your exclusive use of apostrophe's in your username. It's all the rage now-a-days.

SPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!

As though any of us are worthy of having our screen names ever uttered aloud.

OT: If I did say usernames out loud, I'd have a hard time with all the names that involve alternating "x" and numbers into their screen names. Like xfoman123x. I have no idea how I'd pronounce that abhorrent name.

That's typically the case over Xbl. If you get it PM me, i'll add you for customs and such.

You know what... I think I might be able to do that right now! I have an xbox and someone else's account, currently.

Can someone tell me what's wrong with these two, this made me LOL hard.

That's where you start talking about the "Evil Dead" series.

I choked on my grilled cheese a bit on that one.

Is there a reference there that I don't get?

For some reason people on xbox live have trouble with mine. And sadly my most commonly used screen names are easier to pronounce for most people than my real name.

It only takes a simple question to change everything.

None really.

Edit: you would not believe how many people find it hard to pronounce my name on Xbox live.

I don't really have trouble pronouncing anyone's username, except maybe Sven's.

Apparently mine is quite hard to pronounce, I have had messages on here and XBL asking how to pronounce "Antony" because it has no H in it. Also, while not exactly a pronunciation issue, people seem to think the last part of my username is said as "times 1000" when it is actually just "Ex 1000".

And the Shadow fell upon the Land, and the World was riven stone from stone. The oceans fled, and the mountains were swallowed up, and the nations were scattered to the eight corners of the World. The moon was blood, and the sun was as ashes. The seas boiled, and the living envied the dead. All was shattered, and all but memory lost, and one memory above all others, of him who brought the Shadow and the Breaking of the World. And him they named Dragon.

That's a lie.

“Strange,” mused the Director, as they turned away, “strange to think that even in Our Ford’s day most games were played without more apparatus than a ball or two and a few sticks and perhaps a bit of netting. imagine the folly of allowing people to play elaborate games which do nothing whatever to increase consumption.”
