I've been on Hatrack for nearly four years now. Well today is a unique day. After all this time I finally realized what Jatraqueros really means.

:hangs head in shame:

Every time I've seen it I've always tried to pronounce it phonetically. Well now that I figured it out I feel like an idiot. [Blushing]

That is all.

There, there. Hatrack needs idiots, too. It gives us someone to feel superior to. So, you see, you serve a valuable role here in our little village, idiot.

We've secretly replaced Tante Shvester with Folger's Crystals. Let's see if anyone notices.

Posted by Tante Shvester (Member # 8202) on :

That has got to be the funniest thing I have seen ALL day. Nostalgia and wit all rolled into one.

Dont feel too bad, Ive been reading Scott books since Highschool and I still cnat figure out how to pronounce Hegemon.

Is is "Hedg-Jay-mon"
or maybe "Heeg-men"
or possibly "Heeg-mon"
or more possibly "He-gemon"

I am he as you are he as you are me
And we are all together...

...I am the Hegemon
They're the Hegemon
I am the Walrus
Goo goo goo joob

Posted by Goody Scrivener (Member # 6742) on :

I've always mentally pronounced it "heh-jheh-mun" No idea if that's right. Anyone have an audiobook?

Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :

Hm. I've pronounced it "HEDGE eh mawn" with less of a twang than it looks. [Smile]

Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :

Narnia is correct...

Posted by Tante Shvester (Member # 8202) on :

You can hear the pronounciation here.
