Hilarious Mispronunciations
What is the worst that you have heard someone mispronounce something.
L'Etranger (as in "L-Tangle-er") Grenadiers Softcap (as in "Gren-E-durs") Machina (as in "Ma-China") Anyone else hear people mispronounce item names very badly? |

I heard L'etranger pronounced as Let-rang-er. I heard Phlogistonator pronounced Flog-stee-non-ater.

Someone once said "Facade, can you teach me your ways? You're clearly the best at every aspect of this game and have killed me and my comrades dozens if not hundreds of times, it would be unfair if you did not share your unrivaled wisdom of Team Fortress 2" but he actually pronounced it as "Scr-ub". Not sure how that happened though, he must have had a speech impediment.

You won't believe how many people haven't looked up the pronunciation of "Claidheamh Mòr". Hint: it's like "Clayf more", not "Clayd more".

 And ♥♥♥♥ the Phlog, I can't pronounce or spell it. I usually just call it the "Flog." |

I've always pronounced uber as oo-ber. I'll be honest, I've no idea on the definitively correct German pronunciation but I'd wager that's right. (Typical, no Germans online when I need them. ¬¬) Wait, what am I saying. The medic himself claims to be the Oobermensch!

Anyways, someone called the Machina the "Machinima", and another person called it the "Maw-shin-aw". |
