Webster's Dictionary is very specific about that. Neither is "crown" (and yes, some people say it like that). And in many instances, wrong.īoth are correct.Nope. The idea of each word having one objectively correct pronunciation is LAUGHABLE.
The GitP forum discovers linguistics for the first time. There was an official pronunciation guide on the old wotc site back in the day. Baldur's Gate 2 made me realize I was wrong. That's the only pronunciation I've ever noticed in an official book.Īnd I must confess I used to say "drough". It's not supposed to sound like "brassiere".īulette, according to the 2e Monstrous Manual, is pronounced "boo-lay". If anyone's curious, it's "si-myuh-LA-kruhm".īrazier is "brei-zhr". Had to remind them that it's the same root word as "simulate" or "simulation". (About the only one that gets my goat is when people call dark elves drough instead of drow.)I just had someone the other day talking about Simulacrum (pronounced it "simm-ul-AY-crum"). Like many D&D words, they're ones you never hear in real life, so it's easy to get them wrong when you only ever read them.Īs a teen I spent an entire session calling the alcoves in a module "ack-lowves" before my friends had enough and corrected me. OTOH I mispronounce the word sijil as sigil anyway, so it already sounds "correct" to me.
