It'll definitely confuse people as to how they're supposed to pronounce your name. That's something...
Posted by Uprooted (Member # 8353) on :
Well, it makes me feel like I really do need a new prescription for my glasses. (Nothing, however, will ever make me want to gouge my own eyes out! Or anyone else's, for that matter.)

I think it's using words like that that'll get you that.

My cataracts are definitely getting worse, and this is the proof!

We're studying Old English in my History of English class. It's fun. We just talked about that letter. It's pronounced aaaaaaaaa as in baaaaaaat. and fad and rad and sad and mad and chad and lad and rack.
If you're like most Americans, anyway. In Britain, they say aah instead and then they go have tea. Posted by Bokonon (Member # 480) on :
What I find scary is that you already have 9 posts with the new user name!

Ah, yes, it's always useful to have a screen name that you can't spell.
Posted by Megan (Member # 5290) on :
If you change your screen name to that, I reserve the right to call you "Bob."

Pshæw! I don't even know how to type that character. I borrowed it from someone else at Hatræck by copying and pæsting.
I was just thinking that it would make me seem, you know, clever.

Whætævær...
Posted by TheGrimace (Member # 9178) on :
but to really top it off you'd need to replace all your "u"s with "v"s and all your "j"s with "i"s... then you would be pretty ervdite

I think you really need a couple of circumflexes thrown in for good measure, like this:

Aber Tante, es gibt kein um laut im "tante". Es macht kein sinn. Do solltest das nicht.

A name, unlike a diaper, does not need to be changed very often.
But, um, [whisper]psst. Some of your letters are a bit squished together. They seem to be getting a little too close, if you know what I mean. Its just, well, indecent. You may want to talk to them about lining up correctly. [/whisper]

Katarain, have you ever noticed that British pronunciation is more musically esthetic? My choir directors always made us pronounce "A" sounds with an open, British "Ah" sound. "Ahh-men," not "A-men."
