Seriously, pick one and agree to it, commentators.

Nothing more jarring than listening to two commentators in the same match pronouncing the same ship completely differently. Not just Gila of course, but that's the most annoying one.

Can we get some sort of consistency for next week. I don't even care if you are pronouncing it wrong, as long as you both are pronouncing it the same.

It's pronounced HEE-LA, as in a Gila Monster.

Great. Now tell me how that has anything to do with the OP?

If they're all pronouncing it correctly, then they're all pronouncing it the same way.

I actually like the idea someone in the Twitch chat had: Call the Gila "Larry."

I say tomato. Can't help the way I say it because I am from where I am. How do you pronounce it?

Exactly.

Ssssshhhh ...... get in a ship .......... get in tournament ............... then you won't have to listen to "annoying" commentators providing you a service. Also mute button?

Also Oneiros gets called Onerios just as much. It's kind of sweet really that different people have different ways.

Except for the fact that Gila has never been pronounced with a G sound in any language ever. It's a specific name.

The Gila monster (Heloderma suspectum, /ˈhiːlə/ HEE-lə) is a species of venomous lizard native to the southwestern United States and northwestern Mexican state of Sonora.

HEE-lə

Say it right, it's not a complicated word. Smile

EDIT:
That's it, I'm starting a fund to sponsor educating commentators on how to pronounce it correctly. SmileSmileSmile
All donations can be sent to me directly.

AT XII EXTRAS Day 3 and 4

Official fund raising announcement at the end.

Think of the Gila's.

Yeah, I picked up on that after I posted. He got me fair and square.

Hats off to you, Gargant. Well played.

Differing pronunciation is one thing, but the Oneiros thing has been getting on my nerves -- the word simply isn't spelled Onerios.

Not to derail the thread, but excellent job this weekend Apothne.
(But you might want to seek help with that drinking problem you're developing.) Smile

If it's "gee" then spell it with a G, if it's "hee" then spell it with an H. Spelling an H sound with a G is stupid. Just don't do it.

Also stop calling absolutely everything "tinker". I don't ever want to hear that word ever again.

I'm sure that all the Spanish speaking people of the world will be happy to know they've been doing it wrong. Roll
Thanks for clearing that up.
