Her name is Hermione.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, that's correct. I used to know a Ginny and that's exactly how it's pronounced.

Heresy. How can you not have heard of the Tingler?
He's the most prolific porn writer of this century.

To be fair, Star Wars can't decide how Han should be pronounced even on screen.

[(Anonymous)]

Wait...It's not Ginny like with a j?

[(Anonymous)]

That's correct.... unless you're pronouncing gin wrong.

Re: Fandom (mis)pronunciations

[(Anonymous)]

Didn't even think of that one, but yeah, good point.

Re: Fandom (mis)pronunciations

Mine was Her-me-own.

It's short for Ginevra, which afaik we only find that out in the last book, and I'm pretty sure Ginevra is pronounced like Jinevra

Re: Fandom (mis)pronunciations

I thought it was "Hermy-ony" till book 4 where she's teaching Krum how to say it, which now I think about it was probably on purpose to tell readers how to say her name right lol

Kiwi and South African.

Duuuude!!! I know almost nothing about Wheel of Time but I went out of state to stay with a friend for the holidays and they're big fans of the show. I only saw one episode and the couple in the pic? It was when she followed him and got to know his family. I was so into them! I might have to actually watch the show now.

In which case, switch to Uisge which should have no pronunciation problems.

Re: Fandom (mis)pronunciations

[(Anonymous)]

If it exists, is not a common name, and I haven't heard it spoken, I've probably mispronounced it.

Forever mentally tripping over if Yu Yu Hakusho is pronounced Yu Yu Ha-ku-sho(u) or Yu Yu Ha-ku-sho(w).

Had never heard of this, but did a double take at this art style because it reminded me heavily of a manga I really like.

It's the same artist(s)! I wonder if this is related to Kuro at all - same theme of shadows, same moé little girl as the protagonist shtick... I'm definitely curious, though I have a hunch I'll still prefer Kuro anyway because of the titular character. Hard to beat a black cat with a hagfish-like ring of teeth.

Yeah, I saw "Kamiyu" listed as the Japanese name for both Camus (S2) and Camille (S1) so just assumed it was Camus like Albert Camus.

I've gotten used to Lek-not, but I still tilt my head in confusion at "George" Prime (as much as I dig the character).

OH MY GOOOODDD I have been so wrong all this time. Thank you for enlightening me. You're right though, when in doubt go to the katakana, that was how I was sure I was always pronouncing Geddoe right.

Leknaat is just weird anyway, we'll go with that. Shit, now I'm remembering having to explain to a cosplay contest emcee how to pronounce Arshtat and Ferid....

Re: Favorite accents

[philstar22]

Lots of them. Most British and Irish ones, most Australian and New Zealand ones, most Mexican and Central American ones, Brazilian, Spanish, most eastern European ones, and Swedish, Russian, and South African.

[(Anonymous)]

A+ katakana there anon, good one

OP

[(Anonymous)]

They take place in the same world.

Re: Fandom (mis)pronunciations

[(Anonymous)]

well, the O phoneme in Japanese is just straight up o (oh)...unless you've been thrown either by the dub throwing a long w onto the end sometimes or by seeing the romaji (ou is not pronounced the way english pronounces ou in any sense, it's just a really long OH).

Re: Fandom (mis)pronunciations

I've been angry at Chinese mispronunciation for a long time, because of Dynasty Warriors and some terrible, terrible, awful, very bad names. No, it's not Cow Pee. That the official english translation that the dub actors used.

Now I only play Koei games in the original language, which is still hilariously wrong but because of Japanese reading of the same kanji vs english mangling. DW9 finally had an actual Chinese script with proper voicing so I could finally hear so many names spoken correctly for the first time, it's breathtaking.

Black South African, or Suth Efrikan?
I've never met a nice Suth Efrikan.

...Yes. How are you pronouncing Gin?
