Which Lich is Which

[Chaotic Sorcerer]

Okay Just today a friend of mine and I were talking about web comics... suddenly i told him of how bm got (Killed?) by the Lich king, (I said Lich like Itch b**** witch ect ect) he than said that I pronounce Lich wrong he said that lich is pronounced like Lick.

Now the question really is which (hehe) pronuciation is correct?

[Dr DR]

He is wrong. It is pronounced Li-ch (l[i^]ch). According to dictionary.com in any case. They are typically correct.

[Thras]

Dictionary.com seems to say that "Lik" is the old Anglo Saxon way of pronouncing it.

[8-bit-Muffin]

I Go by lich b**** , because thats how its said by blizzard. the makers of WARCRAFT! YEAH!

[Lost in Time]

For some reason I pronounce Lich "Linch". I'm pretty sure its wrong, but I'll continue calling him that.

I understand, if any of you play DnD in frogotten realms I pronounce Gensai as "Jinsay" but it's pronounced "Genisay", I think my way's better.

So I can't pass an opinion

[Ghost Who Walks]

How do you pronounce chocobo?

[Chaotic Sorcerer]

How do you pronounce chocobo?

I would suppose how it sounds say it with me CHOCOBO!

[Corneria Guard#4]

Cho-Koe-Boe
Or, if you're on Xplay...
Cock-oo-Bow

[Sky Warrior Bob]

I pronounce it, chõcõbõ, I think. Basically, you start off with choke, then follow it with a o sound, as in coco. Then finish it off with a bow (as in bow & arrow).

Choke-O-Bow

Sky Warrior Bob

Like whoever said, 'Lick' is both the original pronunciation of the word. In Old English. If your friends is a millenia or so old, then I understand. Of course, its original spelling was 'Lik', 'Licke', 'Liche', 'Lich', or however the writer felt like.

[Lost in Time]

yeah i say ch-oco(without the c in coca)-bo(like bow+arrow). But my friend says co-co-bo.

[Chaotic Sorcerer]

I really, really, REALLY don't think so... I mean after all the arcaic word for is demon is daemon yet it's pronounced the same way...

Yeah, now its Lich witch b**ch. But it used to be 'Lik,' like I said. If he was born one and a half thousand years ago, then he's justified with Lik, otherwise tell him this is America we don't eat crumpets and we have never pronounced it Lik.

Daemon and Demon(though now they mean different things) did arrise from the random spellings of Old English(the same word{even names} are often spelled differently, even in the same work)

First yes it is america, but how would you know it wasn't England, (You could have ofended me ;) ) and also we were arguing over olden pronuciations.

But as i said daemon is still pronounce like we pronounce it now...

Not exaclty. It wasn't pronounced 'Day-mon', but it wasn't pronounced 'Dee-mon' either. The fused AE that was used had a unique pronunciation that is not used in modern english. The equivalent is 'Dee-mon.' Also, even in Britain they don't say Daemon or Lik anymore.

[Chaotic Sorcerer]

all the same the crumpet thing...


WHY THE HELL AM I BOTHERING WITH THIS ENGLAND THING, THEY WEREN'T EVEN NICE TO ME WHEN I WENT THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Wetflame]

According to Warcraft 3, Lich as in Cheese, but adding a slight S sound wouldn't hurt =P

[Dr DR]

all the same the crumpet thing...

You just probably met someone like me. There are plenty of nice English people.

For some reason I pronounce Lich "Linch". I'm pretty sure its wrong, but I'll continue calling him that.

same here i alway do that when i read i look and frist and the last and maybe one or to in the middle te say it the the way i think it sound be the it gets stuck in my brain and a can change it!!

[Rayinne]

Lich I always pronounce with the 'ch' sound, but I pronounce Lichlord a la 'like-lord.'
This is dead inconsistent, but it's in my brain and I can't get it out.

[thepiesarealsoevil]

I actually pronounce Lich as "Leech" but then, I'm about 1/20 italian... :D

[MaskedLarry]

I pronounce Lee-itch, though I can easily see Like as in Lichen.

[Martyr]

Lich
Litch.

Uh... My argument is finished.

Well, I guess it's time for a mod to have this thread OWNED.

[BakaNeko]

Chocobos come from "Chocoball" ( http://www.ffworld.com/?page=article&id=1 it's in french, but you can see the picture... ) ... so... if some of you knows a bit of japanese, it's pronounced

ちょこぼ <- japanese caracters (I don't know if you'll be ablo to see those)
Cho - ko - bo
(Cho is more like "tsho" ... the sound of the T is important)

and for Lich .. buy warcraft 3.. it's pronounced like in witch ...
