both speakonia and the opera reader (activated by highliting text and pressing v) pronounce it a bit like preassure (like assure with a pre on the beginning)

Yea, I don't think you need me to explain.

I know it's supposed to be pressure, but I've always found myself pronouncing it the way you've spelt it.

Do NOT say the X in xinos as "Ex", it's more like kseenos.

In swedish you pronounce i as the english e. But either way is fine, i don't care.

The spelling mistake was unintentional at first, when I actually couldn't spell pressure, but it's sort of stuck as that now. I always intended for it to be pronounced simply as pressure, anyway.

pilot62
12 Aug 2006, 23:41
Well, I think A-ker-you would be more accurate to how I pronounce it, the ker sounding like the 'cur' in 'curly', but that's not very different to how others did.

I've always pronounced it in my head fine, but now I try to speak it, I can't quite fit my tongue around it, it doesn't sound quite right.

Ciskin - sis-kin?

btw i'm such a crappy speller as u all i know i usually edit a post like 3 times before it's presentable after i submit, it lol.but this is how you pronounce your screenname, not your name on everything else. so if you're not making a note that you're talking about a different name it gets rather confusing. also, does anyone actually know you from other games here? if not then why'd you bother listing that? :p

boggypants is my worms name :p, i was gonna make a new 1, shoulda, when i cam on an boggypants after a long break but i rememberedd an old user/password and after a while it was tolate, if u look to the either the left on my post or or my sig under myname is says who i am :p.

this is the name i have used online since i'v had an online name really, when i used to play online rarely worked, my dads comp had issues only after i got mine did i actually come on. i used to use a random name because i was rarely on i would just forget the one i used before. thats why i took a worms break/

anyway, I have a name for you guys if I can remember how to spell it. while sitting at the front desk of the hotel I work at (I was bored, so I walked across the lobby to sit at front desk instead of where I was supposed to be, and no, that's not uncommon) there was a guy who checked out with a name that was something along the lines of: Valiskiskaradaboon or something like that. pronounce THAT one. :p

I mean made up of the words "aku" and "ryou" which is japanese... for something that I'm too lazy to find out right now. "spirit" I think. that's how I saw itactually akuryou is one whole word. tryou isn't actually a word on it's own (aku is). if you wanted to say my name with two seperate words in japanese you would have to say AkuRei, and that was another forum member a while back. akuryou, as my best guess, refers to some specific form of spirit rather than just a generic evil spirit. granted, I know almost nothing of the japanese language, I just know that ryou isn't a word on it's own because I looked it up on a translator before.
