we really need a game to start if this is how desperate we are for interaction with each other...

I don't mind low-stress interactions from time to time. I consider you all friends and it doesn't hurt to have some basis for that friendship besides betrayal and distrust. :P

On that note, is it wrong that when I say "yuma" I switch into a deep, growling voice and say "yummy"?

hey... as long as you get my gender right I don't mind. I was surprised at how many people thought it was a feminine avatar name (and some still do who are new to the forums).

I always thought male, but mainly because the picture looks like a man in a nice tux leaning back up top, while holding a scotch in his hand in the bottom, with "Science" tying them together, like saying "Science: Stay classy".

Now, it's nothing of the sort of course. But that was always the mental image I've associated with you. And even though I know what your picture really is, and I've seen what YOU actually look like, that's still the mental image I naturally have.

Agreed.  Need 2 more for LOTR2.

And 6 1/2 more for SoC.

Names that I know I pronounce wrong in my head but have no intention of trying to change:

ashersky
sudgy
Dsell
Grujah

Interesting! How do you pronounce Dsell?

It's meant to be 'diesel' right? I say Dee-sell.

I also say Dee-Sell.  I mispronounce sudgy, too.

How can you mess up Grujah?

I think the 'j' is pronounced as a 'y'.

I always said GROO-HAH. Like it was a spanish name. Or perhaps "SHARK BAIT GROO-HAH-HAH."

Yeah, it's the second one.

Dee-Sell - Duh-sell

Really? ???

Sometimes it's "Dee-Sell", but my natural 'at-a-glance quick in my head' read is "duh-sell". Not sure why I put the "uh" sound in there... I just always have.

Interesting seeing how you guys pronounce my name.  It's hard for me to write how I pronounce it.  In particular I'm not sure how to write the e...
it's something like
thay-Orl
where the th is soft (like theory).  The ay is the closest sound I can think of to it, but it's kind of between that and a short e if that makes any sense.

as for the rest of you, I'm aware of several that are wrong, but this is how I pronounce them...

Interesting, my pronunciations are identical to theorel's with just 3 exceptions: theorel is thee (soft th)-or-ull, ashersky is sky, not ski, and Robz is just Robz, no 2-syllable funny business. :P

Also, I just memorized the letters in zxcvbn and just spouted them all off whenever I saw his name. I think it helps that I've used "dasmrh" as a screen name many times before. (You're welcome)

I'm amused that people pronounce mine as "Rob Zee." I've always thought of it as just like Rob plural.
