The BlackBear Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Personally I'd say al-EES, but then I originally read Jaime as JAYM rather than JAY-me. I must try Ms Hobb's work some time.Me too, little did I know I had a friend called Jaime, and I didn't realise that was how he spelled his name. I thought Valyira was pronounced Val-Air-E-A so the show always makes me wince slightly at Val-eye-ria. Then there's khaleesi which I assumes was pronounced Khal-i-see, instead of Khal-eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-si. And now they claim Aegon is pronounced Eggon, am I the only one who can no longer take him seriously?You should she's great, they work best in order (naturally) though I read Liveship Traders first (because I'm an idiot) the only problem with the Assassin and Fool trilogies are that she seems to take a perverse delight in ruining Fitz' life.

The BlackBear Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Ha ha ha ha! I was rightThe more accurate pronunciation should be “KHAH-lay-see,” not “ka-LEE-see.” That’s according to David J. Peterson, the language creatorresponsible for all of the Dothraki and Valyrian dialogue spoken on the show, and he’s driven mad every time he hears it. “Ugh. God. That’s not how it’s supposed to sound,” said Peterson. “The vowel change bugs me.” As the architect of the language’s grammar and pronunciation rules, he’s the only one who can correct it with authority, but he lost the battle to correct the pronunciation on the show early on. “The producers decided they liked the other way better. They probably thought most people were pronouncing it that way anyway, which is true.”http://www.themarysu...ones-languages/In other news: MIND BLOWN http://cargocollective.com/jirka/REAL-LIFE-DISNEY-GIRLS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
First of My Name Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Just stumbling around on Youtube, then found this brilliant compliation of some Star Wars music that I must share: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUs4foG53fg. You gotta listen all of it!ETA: seriously, I just finished listening, you don't know what you're missing! Even if you're not a SW fan, this is beautiful IMHO. It gets going at 4:40.

Buckwheat Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 For you Buck: http://ideasonenergy...rts_design1.pngMawww cute.And now they claim Aegon is pronounced Eggon, am I the only one who can no longer take him seriously?You should she's great, they work best in order (naturally) though I read Liveship Traders first (because I'm an idiot) the only problem with the Assassin and Fool trilogies are that she seems to take a perverse delight in ruining Fitz' life.I never pronounced it any other way ... or maybe, em, no, slightly different, but I probably cannot write it the way to make it clear ... if you can read phonetical, I say "e:gon" and not "ɛ:gon" or "ɛgon" ... but then I also say Yon instead of "J"on, so my opinion is probably invalid.ETA: Westeros will not display phonetical symbols. :dunno:I only read The Farseer (and half of The Soldier's Son) ... but but but ... I thought this one ruined Fitzy's life sufficiently ... can you make it worse? :crying: (Do not spoil me, just rambling to myself.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gillio Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 I am not going to change my avatar, but I am sure somebody can think of an explanation as to how that particular flower suits into Woodstock.Flower power http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flower_powerhttp://images.popmatters.com/features_art/f/flower-power-splash2.jpgThree cheers for Woodstock ! We are talking about Snoopy's sidekick right?My favourite - I had a toy one in the 70's. It was on a long spring and made tweeting noisesTwo more pony-toppling earthquakes today. Not as severe as the one last month (locally, at least), but still a bit disconcerting.Ooh no. Stay safe.Gillio and Odendisa, :cheers: Also, KiD and Buck fit. But nobody needs to fit.
