I've always pronounced the Neopets names correctly.

I'm such a geek, I went to the pronunciation page and memorized everything. :wink:

*lets out a sigh of relief* I thought I was the only one!
I feel quite embarrased now. Whenever I see pteri I just automatically see "petree".



HAHA! I had to go to a class for that too! Did you have problems saying 'Road' and 'Word' correctly? I sure did...

really?! I never knew that. I always pronounced it as "Puh-teary"

I pronounce it Pee-tree. Like the little bird in The Land Before Time. That is what I thought it was based after. :?

I didn't see mention of Lupe yet. I have always pronounced it as Loopay. Stumbled across the pronunciation page some time ago and they say it's Loop, I feel weird saying it correctly. Same with Pteri, I say it the same as everconfused does, and that will never change. Eyrie is Ear-ree, I don't know how some of you say eye-ree.

Yeah. I especially had trouble with my name...it's Erin. For years I was calling myself Ewin lol

Aha. OMG that's so cute. My name it's Brie. So. Whenever someone asked me what my name was, I'd tell them 'Bwee'. Although, when someone asks me now, no one ever gets it right the first time.

Heehee - I have always pronounced them correctly as well. Most are logical, and those that aren't, I look up.

I'm the same! I always pronounced lupe as "loo-pay" as in the name renee... I don't think I can bring myself to call it loop, that sounds too dopey.

omg! I forgot about Lupe! I don't pronounce it loop either. I pronounce it loop-ee

Yeah, I'll always call it lup-ay. I was embarrassed, I went to a McDonald's for the lupe plushies, and asked for the "lup-ay's". The girl at the counter rolled her eyes and said, "They're loops. You don't play Neopets, do you?" I smiled and said, "I just got the lab map." I felt like such a loser!

I never knew it was silent ... i always said Pah-teri ...

Yeah, I saw the McD's commercial, and said "that's not how you say blumaroo!" So I went to the pronunciations, and it was right. And Mynci. How do you even form that word correctly in your mouth?! I say "min-see", but the pronunciation thing makes it seem like you have to get your mouth wired shut to say it correctly.

I was into dinosaurs when I was a kid. I've learned to pick out silent p's (eg: pterodactyl).

I usally pronounced it Pet-ree or Pe-tree (once again, The Land Before Time)

I never care about other people pronoucation.

Like with Pythagoras. It's pronouced Py-tha-gras but I say it as Py-the-gor-as
