Just so you commentators know, it's not a "kit-soon." It's a "kit-soon-eh." A little tidbit, a kitsune is a Japanese fox spirit. It's also the Japanese word for fox.

Ive gotten so much hate for pronouncing kitsune the way you describe. Its funny how strongly people feel about pronunciation even when they have it wrong

I love when people pronounce Abbadon "ab-add-on." It makes me realize most people on the intertubes can't read.

ROFL I think even worse are the inane nickname people give ships. Like, I feel like being lazy and instead of calling a Scimitar a Scimitar, I'll call it a "schimmy."

Yeah, because pronunciation is famously static. It won't change at all in the next few thousand years.

The correct way to pronounce Jita is - "SCAM CENTRAL, STAY THE HECK OUT!!".

In case you were saying it wrong. Big smile
