I never understood how people pronounced TURRET is TURRENT. Like, are you fucking retarded? I always thought it was a meme or something just to get people to rage but the other, lo and behold, my faggot supervisor was talking about some video game and called it a TURRENT and I was taken aback for a bit... I didn't know people actually called it a TURRENT. Like, WOOOW. Anyways, I called him out on it and I'm unemployed at the moment.

Original discoverer once called it "alumium". He decided that it should be called "aluminum" instead, nobody knows why. Eurocucks, however, can't contain their autism and added another "i" because it's "not latin enough".

Because it uses a shit ton of loan-words from multiple language groups. And in video games there are also a lot of words based on japanese which have even different pronunciation which most americans can't even pronunciate after they've heard it.
>>339570159
>The word "Melee" is exclusive to a single game
>>339569921
But that's the official pronunciation.

The first time I just saw it as "bomb-om" and I said it like that ever since.
I can't help it. I know "buh-bomb" makes more sense, since it kind of sounds like an onomatopoeia of a bomb going off, but it feels awkward to say. "bomb-om" just seems to roll off the tongue better.

He doesn't. What are you on about?
Besides, it's meh-lee. Even though you can clearly hear him say the MAY part.
>>339576479
I'm sorry but I have to pronounce you clinically deaf
You are the first person I have ever seen think he's saying "maylay" especially when he stretches the "eeeee" at the end as long as he can. There is no "lay" sound present. The first "may" can be debated but it's indisputable that he's saying "'lee"
>>339576615
I'm sorry but I have to pronounce you clinically deaf
You are the first person I have ever seen think he's saying "mehlee" especially when he pronounces the "may" at the start as short as he can. There is no "meh" sound present. The final "lay" can be debated but it's indisputable that he's saying "may"

>>339576761
You sure showed me by copying my post bro.
You didn't prove anything wrong, I specifically said it's possible he's saying "may" at the beginning. But there ain't no way in hell he's saying anything other than "lee" at the end.
He's either saying some kind of bastardized combination of "maylee" or "me-lee," but never with a lay sound.
You can replay the last two seconds of it if you don't believe me. It's a pure "ee"
>>339577275
Well I think there's no discussion in the may part and all the debate can only be put on the "lay"at the end.
He's either saying some kind of bastardized combination of "maylee" or "maylay," but never with a meh sound. Both of these pronounciations are wrong and that was my intended point. You can't say melee right if the intro was your source.
>>339577581

Stadium pronounces half of them wrong anyways. Anime is a bit more "official", as are the Pokemon themselves saying it.
