Spirit of the Wolf (mandela effect)?

[skorge]

How many are like me and have always called it spirit of the wolf? I just realized recently it is Spirit of Wolf with no the.

Mandela effect or just me?

[Zwieback]

I learned it just after I got the spell to cast. At first, it kind of confused me. I assumed I got the wrong spell or the name was bugged.

I still say spirit of the wolf in my head though. There's no fixing that.

its definitely not sew, its sow...like a mumma piggy

hope this helps

[Migsy]

I'll second that. No sew for you.

[Danth]

I don't know what the "mendela effect" is but insofar as I know the spell has always been "Spirit of Wolf," hence the common acronym.

[ithaqua]

Why not pronounce SoW as sow?

[Sirquestalot]

Ahh, there's the entire argument right there, Ithaqua. As a noun, sow is a pig. As a verb, sow is planting seeds. Both pronunciations are correct, acronym or not.

[mcoy]

This is why they released the sotw aa ability for druids. No more confusion.

Spirit of Wolf SoW is pronounced SEW because it isn't a female pig.

It's also because the sound of the O in "of" makes the SEW sound not the SOW sound. Hope this doesn't help.

No it's definitely pronounced sew, as in bow, below, blow and slow.

definitely is sew, if you pronounce it sau you are illiterate

[Cen]

I've always said SoW like sew, but considering this is an acronym that isn't in the game, nothing is right or wrong.

The way the majority of players say "Thule" is way wrong. I cringed badly because recently in another game the word Thule is used for the name of a zone, and the English voice actors butchered the pronunciation but the Japanese ones did it correctly. Hint: If your saying it with one syllable your probably saying it wrong :p

Some words do have a correct way. Shire is always pronounced the same way EXCEPT in lord of the rings, but the creator pronounces it that way so you gotta roll with it since he made the place :D

No it doesn't.

Say the "o" phonetically then say SEW, it's almost unpronounceable.

[Encroaching Death]

I don't care if I'm wrong, I'm going to keep saying 'Sew'.

You can take my Spirit of Wolf pronounciation from my cold dead hands.

[Ooloo]

It's "sau" like a female pig because it's the word OW (like you yell when your jerk of a friend hits you in the balls) with an S in front of it, thus S-OW.

Also, I think maybe the reason op remembers it being "spirit of the wolf" is because sow potions *are* called "blood of THE wolf" not just "blood of wolf". That's my theory.

[Coridan]

Definitely SoW, rhymes with bow and drow

[Encroaching Death]

rhymes with bow

Like Bow and Arrow?

OR

Bow to your queen?

[Encroaching Death]

Fuck the English language

I had to read this a few times to understand what you weren't doing to your friend.

[ithaqua]

Had no idea that the pig form was pronounced differently, learn something new every day!
Is that true for british english too? Not a native english speaker so always assumed it was pronounced as the verb in both cases

[nilbog]

In the early days, shield of words was also abbreviated SoW, and it was confusing because people want spirit of wolf much more frequently.

Sow is the only acceptable pronunciation of sow.

mumma piggy thanks you

[Cen]

I played the whole classic era and I def did not have the same Mandela experience as you. Hearing Spirit of the wolf actually sounds really uncanny and disturbingly wrong to me.

[Encroaching Death]

The only thing I remember about SoW back in 1999, was watching druids kite sand giants in Oasis and I looked upon them as if they had super powers and it was because they had that spell.

Still didn't motivate me to create a Druid though.

[Trexller]

pronunciation of S.O.W. needs to be its own thread, with etymologists and linguists submitting papers for peer review

[Coridan]

Like Bow and Arrow?

OR

Bow to your queen?

Yes

[Raj]

No it's definitely pronounced sew, as in bow, below, blow and slow.

Definitely this :cool:

However the word "bow" goes both ways in pronounciation for the 2 different but identically spelled words bow and bow ;) IE "bo-qwest" vs "/bauu"

PS WtB Luclin features like AAs and Billy (spirit of Bih'li) because its the best run speed-buff! And then we can stop begging for women's housework or farm animal buffs.

PSS Tell us how much $$ we need to raise for Blue 2.0 server that advances to Luclin or PoP wihout PoK 8)

i've been calling it "sow" for so long that i sometimes forget what the acronym actually stands for
