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? Sidhe |
Is this another insult thread?:)
|
No, we already have one of those.
Be nice, bruce...;) It's more of a "what would you title whom, and why?" thread. Sidhe |

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) Sidhe |
Troubleshooter: TFG(tm)
(ask him, he'll tell you what it means....also, I didn't really make this up; he did, a looooong time ago....but it definitely fits him) Sidhe |
So a banshee is a farting fairy?

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? as for you, mr dar512..... dar512 better than dar511 or colors inside the lines or 215rad spelled backwards or I'm a man, baby! |

I have a friend called Niamh... roughly pronounced "neev"...
|
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 |
I've seen that many times, and for some reason I never remember it until I read the explanation.
ghoti ghoti ghoti |

I admit I'm overly proud of my current title "Postage doo". It's a strangely complicated yet simple pun. |
Quote:
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 |
LJ- addict
UT- sweetie griff- mr. nostalgia OC- kitty wolf- sandy fnf- mia....... |

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? |
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) |
