DDR mispronunciations

This kid kept telling me that it was Sa-KORE-ah. He was trying to convince my that that was right, even though I was saying it correctly. Don't listen to others.

I didn't mispronounce Stoic, I just don't know how to spell out pronunciations for words.

I mentioned the common mispronuciation of "Gradiusic Cyber" as a comment made noting that quite a few people say it without reading it carefully first.

I knew it was "Grah - dee - us - ic"

I don't think anyone was saying the proper pronunciation of Stoic is "stoyk." I think people were listing MISpronunciations, as the topic title says...

And a dash over the E in "Pokemon" would make it a LONG E, which is pronounced EE. So if they put a dash over the E, they are wrong. It should be a little curved line if they wanted it to be "po-KAY-mon."

Sort-of-belongs here, I think

Of course, living among native speakers, I have the opposite experience: garbled Engrish names of songs.

In general, though, here (not to be taken as law; just the quirks of how people have pronounced things):

DXY! is pronounced the same way as "Dixie"

"V" = "Five" (faibu) (I'm dead serious; while the folks at Muthos don't do it, there is a whole cult of people in Yokohama that do it)

"Paranoia Survivor" = parasaba

"Paranoia Survivor Max" = parasaba max

"Max 300" = max sanbyaku (obvious)

"Legend of Max" = legendou

"Trip Machine Survivor" = torisaba

"Genom Screams" = genomu

...and many other atrocities to the English language.

I hate when people call it "pok-ee-MAN".

Not exactly a mispronuciation, I once heard some girl say to her friend (referring to Dub-I-Dub), "Ooh, lets play the dooby song!"
And as far as I care, its poe-kuh-mon. Alternatively, it could be pronounced toe-tuh-lee-gay.

Gradiusic Cyber is the one that really gets me. So many people still say "Graduilistic Cyber" after you correct them.

I also hate when people say B2U or Brilliant 4U. They're getting two completely different songs mixed up.

Another is when people say K.O.3 Mix, although K.O.G. G3 Mix is a bit of a mouthful.

And of course, how many people call it Saint Goes Marching? Not too many.

AH. If Pokemon has an ACCENT over the E, then you're right. A DASH or LINE over the E would make it po-kee-mon.
