I have always wondered...

[Asdayasman13]

...  Is it pronounced "kyoo-HIM" or "KWIM"?

[Jari]

Kim.

Errrr... like you'd pronounce Kim, I mean - I'm no good with phonemes.

It's simply a fancy way to write his name, after all.

[Asdayasman13]

Ohhh.  *reality sinks in...*

That's awesome.

While I'm at it, is it "DEE-ZEE-IIY-yoo-go" or "duh-ZI-oo-go"?

[Kudistos Megistos]

Kim. Without the "u", "q" has a normal "k" sound like in "Iraq" or "Qatar".

EDIT:

Wow, quick replies...

[Asdayasman13]

I know, I just assumed 'cause it was a capital, that, instead of being normal name capitalisation, it was denoting aphonetic pronounciation of "Q".

...  I might need a hobby.

[obesebear]

Ohhh.  *reality sinks in...*

That's awesome.

While I'm at it, is it "DEE-ZEE-IIY-yoo-go" or "duh-ZI-oo-go"?

I've always liked dz-yoo-go

[Asdayasman13]

Is dziugo still active?

[Kudistos Megistos]

Apparently he was here earlier today; in fact, he even made a post in tech support

[Asdayasman13]

Awesome, let's get 'im in here!  =P

(Sorry for not using the search function, by the way, I'm just making conversation.)

[Xelane]

i've always prnounced it as "kwhimm"

[polaris_027]

i pronounce dziugo as "jugo" with a hard "j" like "job" and "jog"

[Asdayasman13]

Nya-HAH, I always said:  "Q-him".  Take that!  I'm being contrary.  I bet you wish I was wearing trousers, so you didn't have to see my flaccid penis.

I seem to switch between my two earlier listed pronounciations, depending on context, and whether I'm feeling clever, or dumb.

*snuggles chiyo chan*

I have the guilty pleasure of enjoying that anime
*smiles innocently*

But I must concur...

Why... oh why... did you post that?

[Jari]

Why... oh why... did you post that?

Indeed. We'd vastly prefer it erect, naturally.

You'd have loved my set of avatars five years ago... I suppose I could switch to them for a little while, if I can find them.

I love that anime from the deepest hollows of my soul.  I want a Sakaki.  I am a sad and lonely boy.  ...  *whimper*.  (I bet you didn't want to see what this said, thanks to the last size=1...  IT'S OK, IT'S SAFE.)

[Xelane]

el ammo bandito...i have seen your avatar so much on these boards that i somehow actually imagine that you are that picture of the orange cat staring at me from the ground 0.0

Sakaki-san?

[Asdayasman13]

No!  No!  She doesn't swing that way!  She can't!  She loves me!  D:

Or cats.  Beastiophile.  D:

EDIT:  Alas, I must leave, this thread of hilarity, as I have a phonecall in the morning, and if I miss it, I can safely assume something something something.  *yawns*  Night internets.

[dziugo]

Ahh... 'dzi' part should be pronounced as polish dź (soft dz / [ʥ]) but I don't suppose there is such a consonant/sound in english So, dz-yoo-go it is.

Edit: You can hear the polish word containing 'dź' in the linked wikipedia article.

YES! How many internets do I win?

[Kudistos Megistos]

It sounds a lot like an English "j" to me...

Damn man, .jpgs for the lose.  That needs to be a monochrome gif.  D:

Have you not read Ulillia's guide!?  =P

[Jari]

I do not have any idea who this Ulilililia-person is, but I have done webdesign for living.

So... I know. Except that monochrome doesn't go very well with red. And except for some very special circumstances, there's not much point in using .gifs over .pngs.

It won't help much if the original is a jpeg compressed to hell and back - I most certainly can't be arsed to clean it up, so at its current state it might as well be a jpeg, it won't look any worse and with all the artifacts it already has, it won't compress very well as .png or .gif.

Feel free to take your complaints to whoever compressed the original as jpeg.
