Re: Pronouncing names
People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually, from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint, it's more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey stuff.

Re: Pronouncing names
It's both. That's the problem. Pronounciation should follow Latin rules, but the words it's composed of are Greek. Originally Posted by Didymus20X6

Re: Pronouncing names
No-one ever gets my surname right.
It's Eyland, pronounced ee - land. Not eye - land (or 'island'!) as most people say.
My first name should be no trouble.
