Pronunciation

[dr_st]

I remember this poll on the DW main page quite some time ago. I'm now extending it.

How do you pronounce the following words?

Arch-Vile (DOOM II Monster)
ZDOOM (DOOM Source Port)

[Liam]

Artch-Vile / Zee-Doom

[dr_st]

Artch-Vile / Zee-Doom

You awful awful man. Why didn't you vote?

[Prime]

Artch-Vile / Zee-Doom

[pritch]

Ark-Vile / Zed-DOOM

What else? All other options are either partially or totally retarded.

[pritch]

And I object, Artch would NOT be the British pronunciation, even though technically it would be correct.

[dr_st]

Ark-Vile / Zed-DOOM

pritch
Ruler of the DOLTs

Finally! A person with some sense!

And I object, Artch would NOT be the British pronunciation, even though technically it would be correct.

Yes, you're probably right. It's just that I though of that British Bulldog wrestler character, when I typed.

If it bothers you, please notice, that in the poll "brittish" is spelled with 2 t's, which allows me to say that I didn't mean Britain, but rather Brittain, which is something altogether different and non-offensive.

Artch Vile / no valid option

I don't pronounce "Zdoom" in english but in spanish, wich sorta sounds like "setah-doom"

[Kid Airbag]

The first option.

WTF? I posted a reply on this thread hours ago, and now I don't even see it on here! WTF?!


artch-vile / zee-doom.

[dsm]

Well, I used to pronounce Archvile 'artch-vile', but after seeing pritch's post claiming that any other pronounciation than 'ark-vile' is retarded, I seem to have already got used to the 'ark-vile' pronounciation.
And seeing as British English is the pronounciation which I prefer, I pronounce ZDoom 'zed-Doom' - I've always wondered how often Americans confuse 'z' and 'c', heh.

[læmænt]

i pronounce ZDoom exactly the way it's written - "zdoom", no vowel between z and d.

[Fredrik]

Ark-Vile / Zed-DOOM

da only real way!

[Erik]

What Zaldron said, sounds somewhat like setah-doom in swedish too.

Well, there's a bug where if people post identical posts, all but the last one disappear.

Anyway; Artch-Vile / Zee-DOOM

Arch as in arch.

Z as in Z.

Simple, eh?

WTF? It's arch...as in archenemy. Same word, really.

And its Zee-Doom because thats how I always hear it pronounced. So nyah!

C is a piese of krap. It should die.

[Crendowing]
