People say: Grime-nar. This is a mispronunciation. Instead they should say: Grim-nar.

In Swedish atleast (dont care about the other nordic guys now) the g in Ragnar isnt pronounced like in Gold but more like (but still not exactly) like in Gem.

How do you pronounce Macragge then? I've always said Ma-Crag though I've heard it pronounced Ma-Craj.

And Fraser wins the thread for his epic reply.

Owh and a quick edit, the danish dont count because they wont spit out whatever they got in their mouth when they talk.

You desigged that quick. And you'll both find the place that Smurfs live is called 'The Smurf Village' located (as some might have it) in the Cursed Land. Not 'Smurf Land'.

I'm going to go and start a thread about Smurf misconceptions now.









I'm not really.

I have a habit of jokingly referring to Cadians as Canadians mostly to wind a mate up.
Have a canadian friend who collects Cadians...I'm going to drive him bonkers O.o

Worst I've heard that personally grates on me is Templuh. It's just...lazy O.o It sounds like a question!
'I collect Templar...'
'Templ uh?'

Heard some of the kids in GW this weekend and it was so depressing to have Marneus Calgar end up as something that sounded like a washing product.

"That Calgon one, Marcus?"
