There's been a name change has there "Jay"? :-p

To keep with the spirit, I shall now be known as Ãléx, a slightly classier version of the name with added squiggles (not squirrels) that tell you it's not pronounced quite as you think it is, but you're not sure how it's different, leaving a slight feeling that the word is in fact better than you somehow. Also, as I've recently found out there's another Alex out there, this name change (or change of spelling 'n pronounciation) will mean we're never confused as to which Alex or "Ãléx" we're talking about, and so peace will exist, in the middle east.

Don't get ME started on YOU being started on the pronunciation of names! You make it sound like such a delightful little topic we could discuss, that would bring smiles to the faces of at least one species of squirrel all over the wörld and perhaps a couple of voles that developed a somewhat abstract sense of humour due to the radiation levels living too close to Sellafield, two voles who ignored all warnings until the consequences were far too clear but far too late to change. That's what you make discussing name pronunciation it sound like.

Or perhaps a leprotic armadillo illegally being sold on the black market in Texas to an oblivious welsh tourist who previously used the squirrel and the vole in a dirty-sanches copycat video posted on youtube...?

In any case, i don't wanna get left out here, so y'all can call me Steefun

You think that discussing name pronunciation sounds like an armadillo? Huh... and people call /me/ crazy...

And Fullard, you shouldn't make fun of the germans for not being able to spell, to call them all drunk illiterates who execute language with the accuracy and efficiency of a wet sock is just cold and insensitive, and definitely /not/ something you should say on a public forum where people can be offended as easily as a nun stuck in a small lift with a fat guy the night after a curry.

no, i dont think it sounds like an armadillo - I think it's probably funnier to a leprotic armadillo in the afforementioned circumstances than to the vole and/or squirrels.

Its a little known fact that armadillos have a very varied sense of humour and therefore will laugh at anything. They also inflate themselves to many times their usual size to cross large expanses of water.

It's a much more well known fact that armadillo's can't appreciate pronunciational peculiarities in proper nouns (give them an adverb and granted, they're rolling around on their back giggling "crunchy on the outside"). This is because they have become desensitised to pronoun pronunciation manipulation tricks due to years of being teased about having "dillo" in their name (I don't think I need to point out where you could go with that).

Duh.

That's a common misconception - the armadillos are so used to laughing off the age old "dillo" joke that they will, as i previously mentioned, laugh at anything, hence why it's a little known fact. They also cross shorter bodies of water by holding their breath and literally walking along the bottom.

No, it's a "little known fact" because it's not true; they used to, but after years and years of laughing it off, they became (as I said) desensitised to it so can no longer appreciate playing around with pronunciation in proper nouns... as any weird species with a weird name would do. Ask Dido.

I reiterate; Duh.
