How do you pronounce 'Urist'?
« on: August 21, 2009, 09:05:14 pm »
Does it have 'u' as in 'under', or 'u' as in 'unique', or perhaps 'u' as in 'urge'?

Some people say Yoo-rist, some people say Oo-rist, others go with Uh-rist.

It's one of this things that'll probably not be agreed on, but I personally go with Yoo-rist.

Most of the time when someone is described as politically correct they are simply correct.

While I'm not so sure it's linguistically sound, I like to pronounce it 'yer-ist'.  I like the feel better than the choices I know are linguistically proper.

Oar-ist ([Thing you paddle with]-[German for "is"]).  It has a suitably Germanic feel to it that I give it a semi-Germanic pronunciation.  How I pronounce the "r" varies wildly depending on mood, though.

I'm talking about the bronze colossus. It's supposed to be made entirely of bronze.
But really he's just a softie inside. They all are really. When megabeasts come to your fort you never welcome them inside and give them a hug, do you. You heartless bastards...
