I saw it in a recent post by kid[red] about people saying ZEE-LOT instead of ZEL-LIT. This got me thinking how much shit i mis-pronunciate in BW, including names.

Here is how i pronounce the following things/names(or did until i met other bw players)

NAZ-GHOUL
RE-KRUL
CHO-HA
HA-VZ instead of HOE-VZ
ZEL-LIT
DRA (like hy-DRA)-GOON instead of DRAG-GOON
GAME-I - only posting this cause tech)option referred to it as GAMEY

probably some more, oh well, im goin to bed

Zealot is not pronounced zee-lot. Zeal may be pronounced that way, but zealous is not. If you want confirmation, check out dictionary.com and use the pronunciation key. They list it as zelet, with the first "e" sound being the same "e" sound used in pet as opposed to bee.

Read zealot as you would zealous with a -t, not zeal with an -ot.

P.S. Zealous is not pronounced zee-lus by the way, it's like jealous with a z. Just fyi

Speaking of mens rea, I think the guy might be a lawyer or a member of the legal community. I'm a law student and I recently learned that "mens rea" is the requisite mental element to be convicted for a crime.
