How your username is pronounced

[Joesocwork 4]

This is a fun topic.

I work in Washington, D.C. (by way originally from Indiana -yeah, yeah go Pistons, just try to beat the Lakers with a score of 63 points ).

Over here in this town, folks tend to identify themselves by their professions.

I am social worker, hence JoeSocWork

Generally, I just pronounce it as ZAH-zah ksah-ROO.

 

Before, I pronounced it in a multitude of ways:

- Zz-zah KSAH-roo (originally)

- Zah-zah KSAH-roo

- Zz-zah ksah-ROO

- Zah-zah KSAH-roh

- Zz-zah KSAH-roh

- KSAH-roh

- Ksah-ROO

Duke- a show I saw said America's media is worse than Communism- it is ruled by SEVEN YEAR OLDS! And, that is basically true. A few seconds of Janet Jackson isn't that bad.. But, I am Canadian. We are waaay different up here..

CBC- cub-cuh

CTV- cut-vuh

CRTC- curtsey

CFRB- cuh-ferb

CIII- keeeey

-just a few Canadian acronyms.. I think ours are better!

Whoops!

I have NO idea ('idear' in Indiana) how I did that, I usually do edit my posts close to a dozen times before submitting them!

Don't worry though, I reported myself to the administrator.

You forgot one - the station I was watching when the U.S. trounced Canada in the '94 World Cup of Hockey - CBUT.

See-Butt.

Hilarious. The announcer actually started crying. He muttered something about Shouldn't have taught the rest of the world our game. I, on the other hand, was laughing maniacally.

Good Times.

CBUT- CBC Vancouver. Neat.

When the japanese bow, don't move your head up. And it is okay for foreigners to try to shake hands, because the foreigners don't know how to bow there. They have it down to a science.

-they even bow when they go on the phone!

it also helps to put the emphasis on the s in dusk - turn it into another letter we will not mention here...and it can get ugly.

Hmm.... a canadian TV station goves me an idea:

 

CBUT- the station who's name makes you sound like someone's pants are drooping.

[ardecila 125]

ar-de-KY-la

All hard syllables.

I originally created it as a unique AOL screenname, to avoid using numbers. But because it's reasonably short, and unique, I use it everywhere now.

It's actually a hybrid of bird scientific names. When I was signing up for AOL, I happened to have a Bird Field Guide on the table. After trying my name and other names I'd used in the past, I opened the book and took snippets from different Latin names to create ardecila.


My avatar is a B-1B Lancer strategic bomber. I use it because it's a cool depiction of my very first BAT, and the splash symbolizes the effect I have on people (at least IRL).

I'm not very good at pheonetically spelling words.

Trol cuh

I'm not sure if this is correct.

[EAGCE 2]

Seems everyone pronounces my screen name wrong.  I just have to be difficult like that.

hmmmm....  Maybe I'll change it.  Now that I think about it.... I think I'll try eej-see.  How does that sound? Or maybe just call me E-A when you read my posts. I guess it doesn't really matter to me as long as everyone realizes that it is an acronym and not a word.

[Boris225 1]

I just call you ee-eh-gee-see-ee

[Monteferro 4]

Mon-teh-FEH-rro

But then again, most people on the other forums I frequent call me Monty. It's two syllables less and it breaks down all the formality (which is a very good thing).

Agh... that blinking emoticon is driving me nuts! I know a librarian who does the exact same thing.

As a non-U.S.American, I still consider Reagan's passing as a great loss to his country. He has made some positive impact in the world's history during his 8-year tenure in office, and should be honored for the good he has done to the world.
