Never got into Lord of the Rings myself, either the book or the films. I realise muchos work has been put into them, but traditional fantasy doesn't inspire me as much as non-traditional fantasy.

How about, Yuffie. Yuh-fee or You-fee? Tidus was a wierd one, cos we would say Tide-us, but in Kingdom hearts, it's Tee-dus. Supposedly, it's to do with the Japanese pronouncing i as an e. Would make sense.

Not sure about Mare-e-oh, but I say Maa-Rio. Unless I'm doing an impression of Mario himself, in which case I do say Mar-Rio, for comic effect.

Question, is Yoshi a Pokemon? They both have an uncanny ability to speak their own names and nothing else of the English Language (or Japanese for that matter).

I've always pronounced it as Weird, is that the way you intended it to be pronounced?

Can't think of any at the moment.

I pronounce it Wee-erd (because "Wii" is pronounce "Wee", so it makes more since).

Umm....can't think of anything atm....well, there is ETA. I didn't know that for a looonnnggg time till Kwon told me. "Edit To Announce"...how hard is that to think of? You'd think I would have figured it out sooner.

Also, people. Why don't we all come to terms and pronounce all follow types by what letters they consist off? PNG. should be pronounce P-N-G, GIF. should be pronounced G-I-F, PSD. should be pronounced P-S-D....it's not that hard. If i'm like a lot of people, the majority say "JPG" pronounced as J-peg, so that'd be fine. But the lot of file types just need to be said how they're written.

ETA can also mean "edited to add" which is more appropriate as that's what you're actually doing.

ETA: TLC uses it all the time
