    So Ivolt can't see the L in Elin?

    Read you all talk about things I don't care about. Wait, what?

    Oh, Ivolt.

    This LP just goes on to show my mastery of the English language.

    Also, that I am terrible at everything.

    EVERYTHING.

    I thought the E in Elin was a long e sound? That's how the Swedish girl I knew in second grade pronounced it, and it was spelled the same. Though there may have been an umlaut on it... which would make sense.

    Anyways, epic exchange there.

    Yeah, it's amazing how much humour you can get with someone to bounce off.

    I think you're right. I just pronounce it wrong. :'D

    It's your username, so it's pronounced how you wish/you can pronounce it how you want, I'd say

    Kind of like how most people seem to think mine is "Tan-the-is", but I always pronouce it "Tan-thigh-is"

    That doesn't even make sense, Tan. You need to switch the i and the a if you're going to pronounce it like that.

    It makes sense in my head. Silent a

    But I actually don't care sense most just say "Tan" instead of the whole thing anyway

    So you have a silent a, and you say the i twice?

    I'm going to watch the update(s) before I sleep, I do believe. I expect more hilarious commentary.

    Yeah, but it's taken from a Swedish character from a Swedish film. I'd say the Swedish probably know how to pronounce it better than me.

    Whaaaaa...? Mind = blown.

    Ok, not really (or I just explained it wrong ). But yeah, when I made the name (actually made the Dragonlance connection after the fact ) the "as" sounded like "ess" or "is". Pronounced it that way ever since

    edit: And yeah, I'm not even sure I'm posting phonetically correctly

    I still say you can pronounce it how you want when you use it

    I get that a lot
