Title the Cellarite
 
Ok, I got this idea while reading a comment LJ made on the "How Important is if for you to be cool" thread...he gave perth some new ideas for his user title. (I thought the "shut up, Jim" was a good one;) )

Anyway, if you could hand out user titles, what would they be, why, and for whom?

xoxoxoBruce 05-10-2004 03:59 PM

Is this another insult thread?:)

Lady Sidhe 05-10-2004 04:01 PM

No, we already have one of those.

Be nice, bruce...;)

It's more of a "what would you title whom, and why?" thread.

LJ, I told you how to pronounce my name...:p ....but I know how you old folks are with memory and stuff, so I'll refresh your memory:

Sidhe: "shee" gaelic word referring to the fey, such as bean sidhe (banshee) or sidhelien (sheeleen)

It's really not, Jim. It's pronounced just like the English word 'she'.

It's just spelled funny. Those crazy Gaelic!

ok, let me try this again.....

there's no way you'd come up with "shee" from Sidhe

until i asked, i pronounced it " sid "...jinx thought it was "Side-eee" never "shee"

maybe unpronounceable is the wrong word for it.


indecipherable?

The key to pronouncing Gaelic is simple...*nothing* sounds like it looks, ever.

I have a friend called Niamh... roughly pronounced "neev"...

OnyxCougar 05-11-2004 08:35 AM

I knew how to pronounce it because my old SCA group was pronounced "Athena Shee", and the last part was spelled like that. It meant "windy" folk. (Kingman is windy ALL the TIME.)

LJ, Think of it as an opportunity to acquire a bit of culture. :D


Plus, English is just as bad. You may have seen this before:

ghoti

How would you pronounce that in English? -------- Fish.


gh as in tough
o as in women
ti as in motion

Happy Monkey 05-11-2004 10:06 AM

I've seen that many times, and for some reason I never remember it until I read the explanation.

gh as in tough

that's not right.

you would only pronounce the gh as an f after ou. the o in women only changes to i because of the e. the ti needs the on to be sh.

bunk example

you should have told that teacher to go ghuch himself

I like that story - so stop raining on my parade.


Besides, the point is that in English as in many other languages, things don't always sound the way they look at first glance.

Consider the difference in pronounciation between the following pairs of words:

heard -- beard
road -- broad
five -- give
fillet -- skillet

How do you know that those pairs are pronounced differently? You just have to know.

Given that the word 'sidhe' isn't even English, why would you expect to be able to pronounce it as though it were?

lumberjim 05-12-2004 10:36 PM

dar,

your mastery of the english language is eclipsed only by your deductive acumen.

I have now seen the error of my ways and would like to stop talking about this now.

yours truly,

Dunderjim

((edit))Oh hang on yes they are over there. You guys have the French pronunciation. In British English that pair are pronounced alike)

leave that teacher alone, he was only quoting that great Irishman George Bernard Shaw who was the originator of the ghoti idea. He was into language reform and even sponsered a competition for a new alphabet

We just saw Niamh Parsons in concert last night, and they pronounced it 'neeve'. My opinion is why bother with English letters at all if you're not even going to try to pronounce them in anything like they were intended. Why not just spell the name "Neeve"?


BTW, Niamh Parsons is a nice woman and a great singer. Jeffrey and I had a great time.
