Pronounciation! Post Reply with Quote Edit/Delete Post Report Post to a Moderator        IP Information Go to the top of this page

From the Curious Trivialities of my wandering Mind..I bring you this weeks bit of Trivial Curiosity!

I had an interesting (and absolutely wonderful!) conversation the other day , and my curiousity was piqued, regarding how some members are pronouncing certain words and names.

It had me intrigued!

For example, I would sooo love to know how everyone says "Cep"

Is it hard C Cep as in " K- e- p" Or soft C Cep as in " S - e- p"?

is and Interactive Fanfiction Prounounced " Eye- Ef" or "if"?

do you say "cond- OR" , "cond- ER" or even ""cond- A"?

and just in case anyone has ever had trouble trying to Pronounce my name...You cant! lol! Imaqtz is an acronym, not a name you can pronounce!

Im just wondering how many other names are pronounced differently..or mispronounced altogether!

I know for years I was going on about " Fee -arts" when the damn car I found out to my embarrassment was actually a "Fiat.!

Well,

Cep = S - e - p

I would say Eye- Ef

I would say Cond - OR

And I say

Imi = Im - ee

And I can say your name hehehehe

Imaqtz = Im - Ax - t (silent s)

Hows that then! Hug

I'd also have gone with Sep not Kep.

And I'm in the "I"-"F" camp.

And cond-or

I'd also have pronounced it I'm-a-cutie-zee Rainbow

Apparently the word pronunciation is always pronounced incorrectly.

I hope it really is 'Sep' or poor Cep is having everyone mis-pronounce his name!

I'm also in the 'Eye' 'Eff' and CondOR camps.

Wow! I had no idea I was the only one calling Cep..."K-E-P"!! Eek3

Talk about speaking in tongues! LOL! jew
thanks for that startling bit of info! I stand corrected!


As for the rest:

Definately call IF's.."EYE..EFF's

think of myself as "EE..MEE"

And Merry almost got it right with "Im a cutie..ZED"

Then again, depends on whether one finishes their alphabet with " X..Y ZEE or "X..Y..ZED" depending on country!

Also Im in the Cond-OR camp.....but that was just a sneeky ruse to get everyone to Say condor..and go one up on the Condor/ Swannie Rules competitive streak weve been displaying lately.. Sneeky

count 'em Cep! ( as in now clarified "SEP")

heh heh heh

Heh ...

Okay, so I am the only one who is so lazy as to call an IF "if"...

AND I WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO!!

Because that's me ... snicker I am a lazy speaking devil ...

Surprising considering when I write anything I appear so damned long-winded.

At least I got Cep right neeners at Imi And I know it was our convo that got this thread started ... LOL!!

Ahhh, SJ. I am the queen of mispronounciation. You should hear how I pronounced "Katse" until corrected by our glorious ex-condor...

As for Condor? I do pronounce it Condor, as written. I even accentuate the "r" like the yanks ...

And here I am griping about "Aussie" and "emu" ...

BWAAAHAHAHAHAHA!!

SJ

Hmmmmmmm? * arches brow ever so slightly , with a barely perceptiple twitch of the eye, not having missed the "ex condor" gauntlet thrown..all the while thinking of the last hapless victim who tried to get a rise from the Condor, and found themselves in a compromising position against a pole*



Surely you aint thinking this Frisking Condor is having a go at a Swan who comes in well equipped with yo yo bombs, whips and other lethal Weapons of Corruption? Angel3

This is an Emuless Imi who has made so many International Calls to various members throughout the years here, and has only now, (yes after our 2 hour convo whoo hoo and glomps to SJ! ) plucked up the courage to see exactly what* I'm* pronouncing or mispronouncing
and good question! I pronounce Gatch Zoltar as " Cut-se"

Im soooo gonna cringe if I get this one wrong..bad enough I've been thinking of Cep .. as Kep all this time!

( and you BlackSwan are sooo gonna cringe if you try to get that damn condor out of retirement )

Yawns and shrugs a shoulder in a nonchalant manner as she smooths down the hem of her itty-bitty black skirt to hide the cat'o'nine tails whip holstered safetly at her thigh

Promises ... promises ....

The corner of her eye twitches as the hot breath of the "EX" ghosts down the back of her neck. The twitch is replaced by a snark as she abruptly snarls and spins on the ball of her foot to shove him/her with her chest up against the wall.

Her voice is a low and deadly purr as she runs her fingertip down the chest of the once-was Condor


That's "bitch" to you .... I ain't no girlie girl ...

snaps teeth just shy of the ear, then turns on her heel and laughs as she flicks her hand dismissively

An Eagle is better than a Condor, anyhow .... more of a challenge ...

Hums "Who's afraid of the big bad condor" as she sashays her hips in a walk to the other side of the room - toward the beer fridge

<chuckles low>

Sorry, couldn't resist ...

His metalic steel gaze never wavers from SwanJun's departing form, darkening, as it follows her to the beer fridge, clenched teeth pulsating his jaw, betraying the urge to act on his impulse and wipe that smugness from her. That little show of public display has already caused a ripple of interested bystanders, further darkening his mood momentarily.

It is his other impulse however that releases him from that hotflash reaction, a begrudging admiration for her fiestiness, as well as her other attributes.

Shoving off the wall, he covers the distance and is at the now open beer fridge . Before Swanjun can lean in to retrieve her beloved beer, Condor grabs a beer before her, spinning around to face her, as one foot slams the fridge door shut behind him. They both face off for a moment, until he quirks a smile, laconically leaning back against the fridge, foot still on the fridge door.

Expertly pops beer open , tilts head back and takes a swig, amused eyes slowly travelling up and down her form.


"Sweetcakes, Ive been many things, from near engaged to yaoi, Ive yet to be a SHIM. I let Berg Katse do the he/she thang.Perhaps your heavily mascaraed and lipsticked Eagle can pander to your needs , if you are into THAT kind of challenge.

Hands her his beer

Until you can tell the difference between an RP male character and a female persona ,sorry , but I can resist.

Has the temerity to wink before casually sauntering out of this thread.

Smoke3 Condor
