Zealot is derived from the word 'Zealous'. The correct pronunciation is 'Zell-it'.

actually, its derived from the word "zeal" which is rhymes with "eel" and "feel". but you're right on the other stuff

Zealot:
zel as in Zelda
+
lut as in "hut with a L instead of an H"

That's how I say it, and I'm almost 100% sure that's the way it's said.

EDIT: well maddux is probably right. It's probably my NorthWestern accept or something. So I changed it.

Wow, Pumpkin you got owned.

A zealot(zell-it, but I like "Zeeel" "lot" cause it sounds THAT much cooler!!) is a member of the Jewish community that sought to overthrow the Roman government during 10 A.D.

GG sir.

zealous means to be... over..enthusiastic i guess you could say, so being a zealot would be someone who's really eager, enthusastic or whatever you want =]


so the religious zealot definition people used here is right

Although I say it the correct way, I always liked Zee-Lot above all others.

if they wanted us to say zellit they would spell it as such. now i say zeelot because thats what it says, zealot, zee-lot.
[edit]is ->it
One time that happened and I just stopped everything, selected the offending SCV, hit Cancel, moved it over to my Barracks, made a Marine, had the Marine shoot it to death, then left the game.

actually, English doesn't work that way sir. Neighbour is pronounced 'Ney-bur', not 'nee-ig-hhh-bo-uhr'.

i used to pronounce 'pro-toss' as 'pro-tose'. like comatose.

However, after repeatedly being corrected and no valid arguement to support my claim, i ceded to being a sheep.

well since when pronouncing zeal-lit, "zeal" is emphasized thus the next syllable is relatively less emphasized. lit is pronounced shorter and weaker than lot.
