But I think it'd be funny to have them tell you "What the heck are you talking about now??". ^^The Book Roguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09194437325351756798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9029162455797292108.post-91661878015312372232012-02-20T21:40:33.266-07:002012-02-20T21:40:33.266-07:00I guess as long as the reader is comfortable with ...I guess as long as the reader is comfortable with how they pronounce or think the word it doesn't really matter as long as I don't have to talk publicly about it I'll be fine. <br />My family and friends already think I'm crazy so if I say weird words they don't mind.The More the Merrierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08425601038434831567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9029162455797292108.post-27965475480572193042012-02-20T21:35:03.536-07:002012-02-20T21:35:03.536-07:00I find it funny that two people can read the same ...I find it funny that two people can read the same book yet pronounce the words so differently.

Mainly because I just skimmed that part and never paid it any attention... <br /><br />When I encounter a word made up, I just read it "as it sounds". I understand that this might produce wild results, but it's the only comfortable thing for me. And, taking into account that usually odd words are never read properly anyway (I mean, have you heard fragments of latin in an English audiobook? Ewww... Butchered language, I tell you) I figure it doesn't matter.Ron C.

However, I didn't find them necessary. Maybe it's because I've learned a couple of different languages and make up a clear-sounding pronounciation just from the arrangement of the letters. But yes, I find some terms still quite difficult to read, but even more difficult to keep in mind. I really don't know if I could hold on to the fact that moroi are good vampires, I'd probably have to wirte that down and place the sheet in the book so I can look things up (yay for glossaries!) BUT I've talked about certain books with people who do not have so much experience with languages than myself, and they told me the same thing as you. And sometimes they use a word from a book I should know, but they pronounce it so wrong-sounding to my ears that I either don't even get what they're saying, or laugh my ass off. :PThe Book Roguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09194437325351756798noreply@blogger.com
