IRC chatter should remain in IRC - http://webchat.quakenet.org/?channels=tl.dota2

Posts that relate to topics with their own thread, such as in News, Tournaments or Strategy should go in those threads.

I find players have a really hard time pronouncing things correctly. The main trainwreck culprits:
- Aghanim's Scepter
- Visage
- Abaddon
- Mjollnir
- Sadist (Necro)
etc...

A useless observation I thought I'd share. <3

IMO both pronunciations of Visage and Abaddon are "correct."

I was never sure about Abaddon, and I dunno if Visage is supposed to be English or French. Sadist should be 'say-dist', I assume some people pronounce it 'sad-ist'

As for coup de grace, many people try to "overpronounce" it. Probably because of coup d'etat.
It's confusing because the grace is pronounced like 'gras', and gras is pronounced with the silent 's', as in mardi gras.

Here's a fun one for everyone talking pronunciation: How do you say "Shukuchi"?

(And yes, it is a real word)

I'm not sure if I understood you correctly, but if you're saying "grâce" should be pronounced like "gras", well no it should not.

Coup de grâce is pronounced somewhat like "Koo de grass" , although the â in grâce means that it shouldnt be pronounced exactly like the a in the english "grass" word.

Still funny to hear english people say "koo de gra" which to a french ear means "fat strike" or something like that.

How in the world would you mispronounce that? It sounds exactly how it is spelled.
