Epitome was the one that tripped me up. Though I think a powerful spellbook called the Epi-tome would be a cool pun.

Now, I read from the Epi-Tome the spell of Hyper-bowlies

To this day I think it’s a travesty that the word is “bona fide” and mispronounced using dumb English rules, instead of “bonified” You know, like to bonify something is like to verify its authenticity

I always thought Ghislaine was pronounced ‘Ghis-lay-n’. The first time I ever saw this name was from the Star Wars Kid from an internet age long past, and with recent events and people saying it ‘Gee-lun’ is just an eye opener. And now, as a native English speaker, I can see why it has that pronunciation. It’s still stupid though.

What trips me up is I used to know a guy named Ghislain who pronounced it "geez-layn" (hard "g"). Every time I see Maxwell's name I have to remind myself that that's not how she pronounces it.

Ghost Leviathan posted:There actually is a thing where weeaboos who learned Japanese primarily from anime end up with weird and jarring speech patterns because real life people don't actually talk like that, and I imagine it's happened the other way around at least once. I'm sure it isn't restricted to Japanese, but westerners have had weird situations like that since forcing Japan open. In the 1850s, when the first English trading settlement was allowed, the only regular contact the traders had with the Japanese was guards, merchants and geisha. At the time Japanese didn't just have a high/low distinction like other languages have but slightly different vocabularies depending on the speakers gender. The only people willing to teach any Japanese to the foreigners were the geisha, which lead to a bunch of prim and proper Englishmen sitting down to meet with government officials and pretty much speaking gutter cockney.

Knowing what little I know about historical diplomacy, "I'll shell you until you agree to terms" probably translates just fine no matter what dialect you're using.

This still happens to an extent since the majority of language teachers are women. Most people learning Japanese will (at first) learn a fairly feminised form of the language.

I want to say one of the Revenge of the Nerds films had a Korean character who spoke with a thick drawl. When asked why, he said it was because he was South Korean.

Some of these are cakes, and some of these are mostly just fondant with a little bit of sponge cake somewhere inside. That pizza looks loving good though.
