MY pronunciation poll (not about a DW member though)

[Crendowing]

"Chao".

Sorry, I'm not a Sonic fan, but it's just been on my mind for a while. These "anime" freaks at my school keep bringing their GBA's to school with Sonic Advance on them, and then they go into a Sonic mantra.

[læmænt]

chuh-oh

[Lüt]

Depends on your accent I suppose, but proper English would be "Chay-o". If it's a Chinese name or something, they may it differently out that way. Or, you could be one of those annoying people who generally speaks proper English but occasionally pronounces things with a foreign accent if they were originally foreign words.

I don't give a shit, sonic games are even more boring than Unreal.

[Zeratul 982]

«'kay·aw»

Bah. On second thought, I don't care.

[IMJack]

Japanese pronunciation: chya-o

'chya' is in "'Chya, right, and monkeys will fly outta my butt!"

And a hard 'O' sound.

[dsm]

'tjao'

[Erik]

'tjao'

yup, swedish accent all the way.

[Lüt]

'tjao'

rnnertr

[dsm]

yup, swedish accent all the way.

Odd, I'm not Swedish. Oh yeah, and it's German accent too (Germans actually say 'chao' when they say goodbye. It's spelled differently though)

rnnertr

And that means?

[dr_st]

I don't give a shit, sonic games are even more boring than Unreal.

I actually like some of the platform Sonic games.

And do you really like Daikatana? Cause I'm thinking about liking it too. I'm tired of everyone hating on it.

Anyway, I voted "kay-o", because I once heard that the "Chao" is supposed to be the artificial non-existing singular form of "Chaos", and the pronunciation accordingly.

BTW, does anybody know the singular of "dice"? Have I asked it before?

And do you really like Daikatana? Cause I'm thinking about liking it too. I'm tired of everyone hating on it.

I have fallen deeply in love with Daikatana, and I've only played the demo. It's been the first game since Hexen that I actually smiled whilst playing. I'm hunting out the full version, I'm going to try to grab a copy this weekend.

It's a damn shame that ION died, too.

BTW, does anybody know the singular of "dice"? Have I asked it before?

Die.

Tschau

[Sharessa]

Chao...loves metal sonic...who is sexy...

[dsm]

I hope she's still alive...

[Sharessa]

I hope she's still alive...

You mean Red?
Shes over at the Doom Depot Forums...

[AndrewB]

BTW, does anybody know the singular of "dice"? Have I asked it before?

Die.

Actually I believe it's di.

[læmænt]

It's die.

[IMJack]

It's "die," but some people just call it a single "dice." And some of us call 'em "d6."

[Zaldron]

And some of us call 'em "d6."

We, the freaks. But you know, that's not as bad as having a mantra/pose/chant everytime you're supposed to roll them. All my players do some stupid shit.

[Crendowing]

BTW, does anybody know the singular of "dice"? Have I asked it before?

Die.

Heh, that can almost be interpreted as Liam responding to a stupid post.

[Sharessa]

Heh...thats exactly what I was thinking.

I once had a d100, but some dumbass broke it. What a waste of $13.

[DooMBoy]

I'd pronounce it chay-o, but then again, who cares?

[dr_st]

BTW, does anybody know the singular of "dice"? Have I asked it before?

Die.

Heh, that can almost be interpreted as Liam responding to a stupid post.

Are you suggesting that my question was stupid?

At least I didn't ask how to pronounce Chao.

At least I didn't answer it wrong. In fact I'm the only one who answered it right.

[Crendowing]

dr_st's post

1)No, but Liam might have thought so
2)Uhhhh.....didn't I just say I wasn't a Sonic fan?
3)As Lüt said, it all depends on how you WANT to pronounce it...there's no right or wrong

4)Loosen up dude, you're becoming worse than me :)

[Kid Airbag]

Doesn't that mean good-bye in like italian or something?

[Sharessa]

Ciao!

[Crendowing]

Thanks for clearing that up Dan. Actually, that's the slang way of saying it. The proper way is arividirce, however it's spelled.
