Title: I have always wondered...
Post by: Asdayasman13 on 2009-08-10 13:14:08: ... Is it pronounced "kyoo-HIM" or "KWIM"?
Title: Re: I have always wondered...
Post by: Jari on 2009-08-10 13:27:32: 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.

Post by: Asdayasman13 on 2009-08-10 13:28:56: Ohhh. *reality sinks in...*

That's awesome.

While I'm at it, is it "DEE-ZEE-IIY-yoo-go" or "duh-ZI-oo-go"?
Title: Re: I have always wondered...
Post by: Kudistos Megistos on 2009-08-10 13:29:07: Kim. Without the "u", "q" has a normal "k" sound like in "Iraq" or "Qatar".

EDIT:

Wow, quick replies...
Title: Re: I have always wondered...
Post by: Asdayasman13 on 2009-08-10 13:54:52: 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.

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.

Indeed. We'd vastly prefer it erect, naturally. :-D

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.)

Post by: dziugo on 2009-08-11 18:04:54: Ahh... 'dzi' part should be pronounced as polish dÅº (soft dz / [Ê¥] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voiced_alveolo-palatal_affricate)) but I don't suppose there is such a consonant/sound in english :P So, dz-yoo-go it is.

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

Post by: Asdayasman13 on 2009-08-11 18:31:59: Damn man, .jpgs for the lose. That needs to be a monochrome gif. D:

Have you not read Ulillia's guide!? =P
Title: Re: I have always wondered...
Post by: Jari on 2009-08-11 18:42:31: 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. :lol:

English 'j' would be polish dÅ¼ (hard dz / [dÊ] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voiced_retroflex_affricate)). The difference might be very subtle for non-polish speaker. Damn, it's even hardly distinguishable in writing.
Title: Re: I have always wondered...
Post by: Asdayasman13 on 2009-08-11 19:35:06: I didn't see the red. >: Anyway, if you just made the whole thing monochrome, then applied your modifications, it'd look nicer. :3

Ulillia is some autistic dude, who made the mistake of exposing his existance on the internet, much to the ridicule of the rest of the internet. He's got a ~.9k guide on image formats, mostly redundant.
