That is sooo funny! Lol I was not expecting to see my username in your post. I guess I see what you're saying though

Haha! my mind always wants to pronounce it that way too!

This thread makes me very relieved to have chosen an easy to pronounce (I hope!) username!

Of course I do that too. My biggest problem is Mangeriamama or somethin...I still cant get that one.

I guess your name is supposed to be 'lil leah'? I see it as 'lilly-ah'.

I have numbers on my name?? lol..I really didnt notice that...I just always thought I was lilleah. Hmm...wow, I am truly in awe here. But yea, Im lil-leah. But i kinda like lilly-ah. It goes smoothlier.



Wow...is smoothlier even a word?

Haha! Well, I tend to pronounce Ryan's user name Hydro ox, though I'm alway's meaning to pronounce it Hydro-axe.

that's a bit of useful info right there, cuz i have ALWAYS said "pom-be-na"

Oh, and I checked, "smoothlier" is most DEFINATLY not a word. oops.

Well, smoothlier can be a new TCS word!
I always pronounced your name as lee-ah.
I always put on an accent when I read DixieDarling's posts!

When I orginally signed up on TCs my brain was not very inventive that day so I just tacked on the 1st initial of my last name. But there are people (bad people) who call me Gail-zee. Get it Gail-C = Gail-zee!!! This is my febile attempt at humor today. I'll try to be more smoothlier next time.

Actually, I think it's just a feeble attempt to kill the thread, you thread killer of the month you! By the way, where in the heck did you learn to spell feeble? -and why in the heck didn't anyone tell me I missed an "n" in pronounce in the thread title? You're all horrible spellers, that's why!

I'm probably wrong but I pronounce it "U-Games" though it's probably something like "U-GAMS" or "UGH-AMYS" heck I don't know!!!

Oh... one I know I do wrong is my fellow Michigander stampit3d I always read it and say it as "Stamped" though I know it's not!
