How do you remember...

To spell all those long words from Neopets?

I can't really think of anything else, but

Ma-ra-qua (I spell it one bit at a time, but I get used it it)
Zak-haru-kh's Pyramid (pyramid is easy, from NQII)

I can't really think of anything else....

I don't know- I suppose I just memorize the spelling after having to look at the correct spelling a few times when I first see it.

Maraqua isn't a very long word, IMO.

Spelling is simple - just pronounce the word in the exact way it is spelled, and you will never go wrong (though the actual pronounciation may differ from the way its spelled). For, example, if you pronounce Zakharukh's Pyramid as Za-kha(with the "h" sound)-rukh's Py-ra-mid, you won't go wrong.

I pronounce it " Zack-haru-kah(not a typo)". But this sin't about pronounciations. Maraqua isn't a long word, but the letetras...confuzzling o.O

Really? Funny how the different ways the human brain works. I don't find the word "Maraqua" very special or confusing at all. Even "Jhuidah" is harder to spell than it, IMO.

I don't really know. I just do.

But I do indeed have trouble with Jhuidah a lot.

Wed Sep 29, 2004 8:35 pm

it's spelled Jhuidah? I've always thought it was Jhudiah, I even say it like that, Ju-die-ah. Oh well, I'll just have to get used to the other way now :P

Good question....I dont know it kinda just comes to me if I sit there for a sec to try to sound it out.

Me too! I'm horrible at spellings. Just go through the pronunciatoin guide. i never realized that snowager was that and not snowanger. My friends and i all have off ways of saying stuff

O_o For names with silent letters, (Jhuidah, Zakharuhk) I just remember the spelling after seeing it.

I don't need to learn those names which don't have silent letters. I just know >_<

I always pronounced it Ju-ri-dah :o

I look at it, I type it, and I usually know it by then. If not, I check, but that doesn't come up often. Sometimes I'll make a mental note how to say it in my head - ignoring the Neopian guide - and I manage okay.

Lol you just spelled "Zakharukh" wrongly. :lol:

Fri Oct 01, 2004 12:00 pm

I've usually either written it a few times and hence I know how to spell it, if not then I really just type it the way I'd say it and not worry too much about how I'm spelling it, I know for awhile I was spelling "Kadoatie" as "Kadotie" mainly because I imagined the pronounciation to be ka-doo-teey. Other than that, avoiding words I don't know how to spell (if I'm not in the mood to go an look up the correct spelling) is something I have a habit of doing, "You know, the paintbrush that makes all the pets look like fish?"
