Thane was the best romance and he deserved better.

David Cage's First Game is notorious for being kind of terrible and trying a lot of things that don't work, plus for him somehow roping David Bowie into doing a soundtrack and playing a character. I've been meaning to show off all its ugly details for a while, and today's the day. I play through the whole game, apply some aggressive editing to cut out the tedious parts, and do silly voices for the various characters you can inhabit to keep things from getting too dull.

Let's Play Omikron: the Nomad Soul!

Certainly the English language is one that is treated as an evolving one by linguists, but that's not true for every langauge.

As an example, and perhaps one of the more (in)famous ones, Académie française approach the French language with a perscriptivist viewpoint, and try to dictate how people should speak and write French, which is why you'll find things like the word curriel which translates to email.
Of course, that doesn't mean that the French people will follow these - and curriel is one of the words that's quite frankly never really caught on anywhere, even by people who're normally very resistant to using English loan-words in French.

Ultimately though, even though there's no correct pronunciation in English, language can be thought of as an aid to understanding and if you're failing to make yourself understood - because you insist on pronouncing words differently from how other people pronounce them, which is your prerogative - then it's not other peoples fault if they don't understand you.
