Ia! Ia! Caldedfwich ftghan!

We all know Cthulhu is a common Welsh name

[Slayerhero90]

I think I'm going to stick with just calling it "Call-D-welch", since I am incapable of pronouncing any of the things you people have put forth.

Doesn't help that I tend to mangle pronunciations. For a long-ass time I was calling Aradia "ah-rid-E-ah," though I think that's just because I misread her name.

Happens to me in some cases, Equius in particular. I tend to put emphasis on the E instead of any other part of the word, altough that might be explained away as accent.

Hey, I call him "E-qwee-us" as opposed to "eeh-qwee-us"

I thought that's how you're supposed to pronounce.

Does it really matter? I pronounce it the latter because it's closer to the single concept the whole character is a joke about.

IT DOES MATTER.

While we're at, might as well list off all of my pronunciations.

Well duh.  Hussie tried killing Lord English with a derringer but failed for lack of a cue ball.
So you add a cue ball to a deringer and BAM there you go.

Unrelated to excalibur, eggs, or pronounciations but I just found this and don't want to forget about it:

Most of the rapid pronunciation like Karkat's, Kanaya's, and Meenah's come from the fact that they are based off sanskrit words that I know how to say.
