Cerillium wrote:Tilt, that's nearly as bad as mine. "ah" is ingrained in much of our sentences on top of the odd pronunciation. I've noticed some speakers replace some of our honorifics with it. Tilt-ah rather than Tilt-san. I don't know why. Some do it, some don't. It's also added at the ends of words. Why??? There's bound to be a linguistic reason.
Swith hates it when people mispronounce her name. Everyone does. She answers to it if you call her. She's too shy to correct them.
Weird. I want to say it's a Chinese influence, but that would sound really Sinocentric of me. Plus we'd put it in front, such as Ah Tilt (阿Tilt) - this is also the source of Swith's "crispy" nickname, by the way. Hmm. This fascinates me.

Everyone says aut-TREESE. If you click on the little speaker in the Italian box, it gives the pronunciation: this.
Cer, I'm not shy. Americans don't trill their 'r' sounds so it gets under my skin worse than aut-TREESE.
Oh. Yeah. You mean by Italian phonetics. Yeah, I was confused about that when I first saw your name in print. I wondered which way to pronounce it, and then you told me to use the AmE pronunciation.
So really, any mistakes I made are on you.
