How do you pronounce your username?

[Lego12]

Ok, I got a tough one:

Lego twelve

I hope you all know how to pronounce Lego........

[Millacol88]

Mill-as in a place that processes wheat/grain

a-short sound

col-pronounced like the start of "collar"

88-two numbers (eight-eight, not eighty-eight)

[Ricecracker]

col-pronounced like the start of "collar"

For some reason, I've always pronounced it "cool".

[Millacol88]

For some reason, I've always pronounced it "cool".

That's understandable, I can see how you would think that. I mean I just kind of scream "cool" don't I?

Oh yeah, especially since you're on fire

[Millacol88]

Oh yeah, especially since you're on fire

Actually, my sig-fig is not on fire, he's simply hanging out while the world burns around him, and he's got a lighter in one hand and a hammer in the other.

Right, I knew that

[Millacol88]

Right, I knew that

Of course you did. It's easier to see if you click through to my brickshelf in my sig and look at the larger picture of it there.

EDIT: Never mind. I just checked and it seems I uploaded it straight to EB from my computer, and it's not on my BS.

do you see 2 o's?

[Ricecracker]

do you see 2 o's?

Know I don't. That doesn't mean it's not pronounced like that.

[Millacol88]

Know I don't. That doesn't mean it's not pronounced like that.

Guys we've been over this. It's ok because I clearly am so cool.

[brickfreak99]

Um...ricecracker I'm pretty sure that no is not spelled like 'know'

[Ricecracker]

Um...ricecracker I'm pretty sure that no is not spelled like 'know'

I know that, I was trying to show how not all words are pronounced the way that they are spelled.

[Lalande]

la land

As in Lalande 21185 (whose planets are most likely to have life).

Sometimes mispronounced as La La Land

[Talin Agasan]

Ta- (as in a quaint English parting wish) lin (as in "in", with an "l"), Aga- (as in "radio gaga" without the "g") san (like not finishing the word "sand")

So "Tah - lin - Ag - ah - san". Very logical, very phonetic.

You'd never get it right in my accent though...

[Erdbeereis]

I always pronounced it Milla-coal.

This thread is pretty interesting.

[Captain Zuloo]

This one ought to be tough: Captain Zuloo --> Captain Zulu

[Darth_Legois]

Actually now that I think of it its not Darth Legous but Darth Legois like umm as in "is there any ice-cream?" .......Sorry for the confusion.....im still confused I didn't even remember who to say my own name

[Guss]

Guss ... like .. Guss the little mouse in the Disney Cinderella^^

Prateek , is your nick a pun with the french word " pratique" ? I always pronounced it like this ^^

[Millacol88]

I always pronounced it Milla-coal.

This thread is pretty interesting.

Actually, I adapted that part of my username from my real name Cole (pronounced like coal), but always pronounced it col as in collar. So you would have been right if I hadn't changed the pronunciation for no apparent reason.

I should've picked a username that's easier to pronounce.

[General Armendariz]

This one ought to be tough

Yes, very tough

[Captain Cavinano]

Captain Ca-vin-a-no

[pesgores]

The real question is: how do you English spell MY name?

I will try to explain how I pronounce it in Portuguese:

Pesh (the "sh" part is weakily read) - gorje (the "e" isn't read as "ee" and the "j" isn't read as "dj")

[eti]

'Eti' is pronounced like English 'eighty'.

Actually, it's a corruption of my real life name Erik from when I was very small.

English speaking people tend to think 'eti' is pronounced 'etty' but I would have written two T's if that were the case.

[Lt. Col. Thok]

Mine's pretty simple...but in German I'm Oberstleutnant Thok!
