Anyone fancy some chocolate cake?

 

[Swany]

Awww... Markus!

I was just changing my signature and you're already posting a WHOLE thread for ME! [i just hope no one feels annoyed ]
You're always one step faster than me! *hihi*

Ehr yeah... so now to make it official: I ehr... had my name changed *lawl* ... I bet at least one person will ask for the reasons, so here we go:
It was a band, it was bad... I was there only for one month ... blablabla ... I didn't like that name at all (;


@Gorik: I'd prefer a cake without chocolate...

 

[Vincent J.]

BLASPHEMY, BURN THE SWANY!!!!!!!!

 

[paradoxile]

no one burns swany...her hair is holy

 

[Phoenix5]

Holy hair!

 

[MadTinus]

Haha, you actually changed it, kewl

One thing though, this should be pronounced as 'swonny' right..? Shouldn't the spelling be Swanny then? I mean Swany is pronounced as 'Sway-ny'..

 

[Skaldir]

It's just like Swan. And then add an "i"
Don't cunfuse us tinus, a member can only change the name one time

 

[MadTinus]

Didn't mean to spoil the fun, I'm just a spelling/language nazi, can't help it, it's a compulsion .

 

[Swany]

Ouuuh Martijn you're what we'd call an Erbsenzähler

Well, you maybe heard Unicorn saying 'Swany' at the meeting... I think we Germans rather pronounce it Swaanie ... like Dan *cough* Swanö *cough* just with an y/ie at the end.
But refering to it from the british pronounced Swan => Swon it would be really pronounced Swonny, but not written Swanny... as Swan itself already sounds as if it has 2 n ...



@Androz: Beware! I choke thee with my holy hair!

In Dutch we call it 'mierenneuker' which literally translates to 'ant-fucker'.

Swan is pronounced like Swon because it has no e in the end, like swane, then it would be pronounced as swayne. So Swany should technically be pronounced as sway-nie (given it's an English word!), but who carrrres, a name is a name.

English pronounciation makes no sense anyway! I mean, ear is pronounced as ir. So then bear should be pronounced as bir, but no! That is pronounced as bare.. :Smug:

I'll just think of it as a German word, then I can sleep without a care again.

like Dan *cough* Swanö *cough* just with an y/ie at the end.

Actualy, Swanö is pronounced "svanoe", with a v as in "victory" and a a as in "darn"

 

[°scarlet°]

a terrible doubt crosses my mind now...
is the 'w' there supposed to sound like the german or the english one? basically... svanie... or... sw(ua)nie?

 

[Swany]

Look Markus, what you did... you're causing headaches

@Martijn: Yeah... uhm... whatever *lol* but yes, keep it the german way and sleep well =)
[Ant-fucker? *thihi* now that's weird ]

@Hobo: Yes, and exactly that's the way how we Germans pronounce that [maybe the 'a' might have an open ending]... and Swany too... I just forgot to care about the 'w' ... so thank you ... and hope this also answers Miss scarlets question ;D
I suggest we all take the German way ... swany with 'w' like 'v' in victory and a long clear 'a' and a 'y' like in destiny.
Everyone's happy now?


By the way... how to pronounce "Cerulean"??? french, german or english?

 

[Cerulean]

lol, English please

Why change the subject to ME though suddenly??
