And Jita, is that pronounced with an English J¹, or with a French J²? ¹ Like in the English word Jungle. ² Like in the name of the French writer Jules Verne.

¹ Like in the English word Jungle.

Or the Spanish name Julio?

I couldn't get "Amarr" right for the longest time until I studied this lesson . . .

There's real reasons why your Eve character doesn't do /dance.

I met an FC once who solved this problem easily in an international fleet ... use the same naming system like in 0.0: the first 3 letters of a solar system name makes the system name for the fleet.

Hofjaldgund is a system in the Metropolis region. Glad to help.

I once flew under an FC who kept pronouncing the name of the proud Amarrian battleship Abaddon as Abandon.
As said, I only flew under him ONCE.

Ezwal wanders off shaking his head while grumbling about illiterate FC's that refuse to even try to pronounce the unpronounceable...
