HelpRe: Jumping on the bandwagon, You say/ you think
in reply to a message by Silverkoala
Well I've been pronouncing most of those wrong then :).
Telal I said as Teh-lahl.
Jhye i said right to start with then decided to say it like Jay (don't ask me why)!
Zarek i think i got right but i wasn't sure.
Jaysic i said Jay-sick (which to me sounds horrible)
It's Telal and Jaysic that i have a problem with. To me the spellings don't match the sounds you want to make. I would nver have though of pronouncing Telal as Te-lau because it has an l on the end. If this name in foreign and that is how they say, then that's fine, you just might have to explain it to people like moi sometimes. But if it's a name you created yourself, you may want to consider changing the spelling.
Same with Jaysic. I saw the name Jay in it, so pronouned it seperatly, giving me Jay-sic. But then i have no idea how else you could spell it to get the sound you want. As i said it might just be me because i do have trouble with names that use your style (e.g Kanye being prn Karn-yay), i just don't understand it. Am i missing something?
