Zaikesman's Username Pronunciation Field Guide

I think its time I set the record straight as well, mine is prononuced "tire guy" and no you can NOT put a "d" after the "e" or replace the "u" with an "a". I must get 5 emails a week asking how my moniker is prononuced, now this will end the turmoil :o)

Very useful. I've always wondered how to pronounce "Clueless" :-)

Interesting thread, and much needed! Thanks a lot!!!

I pronounce my username trel - ja, like ja rule, not trel - ha ala a Spanish j.

And, while people are often curious, it has no mystical meaning or representation, it's simply the way a company of mine gave out e - mail addresses - first four letters of your last name, followed by first initial, followed by middle initial if applicable.

Q above>>I've always wondered how to pronounce "Clueless"

It's an old traditional family name on my father's side which has been used from one generation to the next.

It's traditionally pronounced "Fuc***+++@@@ingCluelessski." The first and last parts were dropped when my great grandfather came to America and like many immigrants it was shortened so it would fit in typical police records.

In modern usage people are so put-off and feed-up with us that they tend to shout and therefore both syllables are accented often accompanied by hand gestures.

Sincerely
I remain,
