    Indeed. It's "Kisutisu" in Japanese, not "Kuisutisu" or "Kyusutisu" or whatever it would've been. Quite different. Also the "qu = kw" thing is mostly English. Lots of Latin-based languages don't say it like that. Um, I think.

    I'm still proud of the fact that I've been pronouncing Cecil's name correctly (Se:sil) cause See:sil sounds stupid and I would never name a child that unless I wanted them to be beaten every day of their life.

    I never had an issue with Teedus pronunciation, if it sounds stupid, it's simple because he is stupid.

    I think Mako was a bigger deal for me, and it's just another reason not to play the Compilation so I don't have to hear that awful pronunciation.

    How IS it pronounced in the compilation? I'd rather swallow glass than experience any of that again.

    Oh right. I have always pronounced it the supposedly "right" way because of "mako" sounding like a play on "mahou" meaning magic.

    That makes a sh-load of sense!

    tbf, the word library probably comes from the same root that libro came from.


    Anyways, that is interesting, and I will forever be amused by Japanese pronunciation of words.
