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.

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.

You misunderstood me.

I'm saying ''grace' should be pronounced like English 'gras'
And that French 'gras' has the silent 's'

I wasn't very clear with what I said.

Mardi Gras is commonly recognized/known in at least my part of the USA.

Well that's french so we're circling around

I think he's just using "gras" phonetically. But since in french most s at the end of words are silent, writing gras to phonetically mean "grass" confuzzled me when it makes sense to a native english speaker

What about mekansm?

I think the voice actors (and a lot of people) pronounce it as mekanism, but I'll be damned if I see an 'i' in that word. I've always called it "meh-kansm".

I've recently started calling it meka but I feel like that's the lazy way out

I always thought it was pronounced mekanism because I never looked too carefully at the word and because I always just said "mek" when talking about it.

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

I pronounce that one shu-ku-chi

I have not heard a single caster pronounce it correctly (and that's even ignoring the Tobi "Shookie").

Every time I hear it said like "Shu - kOO -chi", which is completely off. Every syllable should be "flat", with no real emphasis on any of the sounds...or at the very least with more emphasis on the "Shu".
Average means I'm better than half of you.

I'm starting to really hate Huskar... We killed his teammates so many times, our LS got fed as hell and as a support I got one of my fastest mek ever and come mid game, we couldn't kill him! What the fudge?!

Urn counters his magic resistance because hp removal isn't reduced by magic resistance.
