Good PSA. Can we also get people to stop saying SoW like the pig and say it correctly like sew (sewing machine)?
Now that I think about it, I think I've been saying it both ways interchangeably and not giving it much thought... :confused:

As a Norwegian we used to pronounce stuff in a funny way !
Example; Iron Blood Sword --> ee-rron bluud swerd
Rogue --> rouge (like the mascara), melee as meal-y and so forth

Actually it's more like "guyz" with a hard "z" sound instead of a soft "s"

Not sure if trolling but there is no difference between guyz and guys in my pronunciation.

I have two RL buddies that say "sew" for Spirit of Wolf

Its sow, like the pigs we all are.

I had some employee of CompUSA back in the day when I was picking up EQ Titanium box set trying to tell me it doesn't get pronounced like 'So-w', instead it should be pronounced like Sau-w.

Its unnatural and it has to be stopped. No no no no no. Fight me. Oh wait, CompUSA stores are no longer a thing, coincidence?!?!?!

I still say So-w. Sauw sounds rediculous.

A fun exercise is to get a bunch of EQ players together and have them pronounce things such as Tunare, Luclin, and Qeynos. I've seen sooo many different pronunciations there.

Two-Nair
Loose-lyn
Key-know-ss

And yeah guise is totally guys
